I have a Tom Mayo XL TNT framelock with titanium handle slabs and a durable tumble finished S30V swedged recurve blade for sale. With ergonomically contoured handles and painstaking fit and finish, Tom makes some of the best framelocks around, and this big, beefy TNT is no exception. In spite of its large size, it fits very comfortably in the hand as well as the pocket. The blade was tumbled not by Tom, but by fellow star custom knifemaker Jim Burke.
I am not the first owner of the XL TNT listed here, but the knife does not appear to have ever been carried, used, or resharpened, and its edge is very sharp. The action is very smooth, the lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is just about dead perfect.
***TRADED***
The specs:
Condition: Mint
Blade length: 4 1/4" from tip to handle
Overall length: 9 5/8"
Blade thickness: Just under 3/16" at ricasso
Blade material: S30V
Blade finish: Tumbled, by Jim Burke
Edge: Plain
Handle slab material: Titanium, beadblasted
Lock: Titanium frame lock, beadblasted
Backspacer: 2 stand-offs, beadblasted
Clip: Tip down, titanium, beadblasted
For payment on this piece, I can take USPS money orders and PayPal (add 3% in the US to cover most of the fees, 4% outside of the US). I can also take a personal check if I know you. If you are paying by PayPal, I will only ship to a PayPal-confirmed address. I reserve the right to wait for payments to clear before I ship.
I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and certain custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Charles Marlowe
Tim Galyean
Deryk Munroe
Jim Smyth
Kit Carson
Jim Burke
Gerry McGinnis
DB Fraley
Bob Lum
Mike Snody
Sal Manaro
Scott Cook
Ernie Emerson
Rick Hinderer
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma
I may consider trades for other custom folders or balis not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than those by John Young or Russ Andrews.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
