I have 2 slipjoints by Willem O'Kelly (K'roo) for sale today. Both were customs commissioned by me from Willem, and have centered blades with no wobble, half stops, and firm 6-7 pulls that are still easily pinchable.
First up is a swayback in ivory paper micarta with blue cross shield, blue G10 liners, and wharncliffe N690 blade that has been deeply hollow ground from 1/8" stock with brut de forge finished flats and hand rubbed grind. Closed it's about 3.5" with a 2.75" blade. Beautiful knife that is both lightweight and a very capable slicer. Asking $250 for this one, same as I paid from Willem.
Next up is a K'roo Clip, his version of a Lanny's clip. This knife has an interesting story... I commissioned it from Willem, carried it a bit, decided I wanted to resell it, and sold it here on the forum. But I felt like I missed it, so I re-purchased it and just received it back today. However, I'm again regretting the impulse buy (I'm bipolar about my knives...) and I truly don't think I'll carry it, so I'm moving it along. Jigged titanium scales that have been anodized blue, then bronze, so the final effect is a beautiful bronze with undertones of blue. Blue G10 liners and N690 blade, again about 3.5" closed with a 2.75" blade. This is a real beauty in person. Asking $270 for this one, again same as I paid from Willem. The fellow I sold it to didn't carry or use it and it is in the same condition I received from Willem. Pictures don't really do this one justice.
Take both for $500 flat! Send PM or email to mbplitt@gmail.com. First "I'll take it" has priority.
