I can work with you on the price for some of these and I'm open to trades. Prices include all shipping and PayPal fees in the US. I'll be happy to ship international but the buyer will need to assume all risks and help cover the cost of shipping. Thanks for your time.

Cash can be added either way.

1. TuffKnives Steampunk Tanic One-Off - near mint - $2100
This is Geoff’s most well known and most famous one-off
A lot of work has gone into this one
Acidwashed Japanese tanto blade with a harpoon swedge and an extra run of jimping
Custom pivot with a gear inlaid into the front and a removable brass nut pivot collar on the back
Bronzed ti frame with a tumbled orange-peel finish
Polished bronzed frame jimping
Show side has 2 oval windows and a set of watch gears showing through from the inside
2 thick bent wires with filed jimping are attached to the front and they add traction
Raised blued steel backspacer that’s been given an aged look
There’s a coil spring added to the back that sits in front the backspacer
The lockbar is chamfered on the inside so it’s hard to see the lockup but it’s at about 10-15%
Centering is good and the action is the snappiest I’ve had on a Tuff

2. David Clark Grunt - lightly carried - $1000
4" bladed non-flipper version of the Grunt
San mai damascus blade
Contoured satin finished frame with 3 holes in the front
Matching san mai backspacer
Monochromatic black timascus clip
Mirror polished pivot
There are some light scratches on the frame
Lockup is early but very solid, some slight stick but still very easy to disengage
Drop shut smooth with a nice snappy detent

3. Jeff VanderMeulen Mini Intro - carried - $625
3.25" bowie blade with a hand satin
Blackwashed bolsters and liners
Polished and contoured carbon fiber scales
Sculpted mokuti clip
Has been used so there are some light scratches on the blade
Runs on washers but still flips great
Lockup is rock solid
Centering very slightly favors the front side but it's hard to tell

4. Tim Curry Myrmidon Variant - carried - $500 --> Sold
Well built 3.25" custom that reminds me of a Slysz Bowie
Working finish CTS-XHP blade
Great blade to handle ratio
Contoured ti frame with a working finish
Copper pivot collars
Has been carried and used so there are snail trails on the frame and some scratches on the clip, blade only has light trails
The finish helps hide it a bit but you will see them
Opens with a snap
Lockup is solid
Centering is dead on
