Got two up for sale today. I can send more pics/ vids/ info upon request, please PM me. Please only comment below if taking one.

Umnumzaan drop point S45VN - good shape, third owner. This one started life as a MagnaCut tanto that the original owner took the blade and used it in a WC. This S45VN blade is from that WC. The knife was sold as a user but the handles don’t show much for a snail other than the one side shown below. The blade has seen some use and has been sharpened and it appears the tip was rounded a little. It’s very sharp and in good shape otherwise. The lockup is what I would call normal (60%) even though it was blade swapped. it has zero play in any direction and is dead centered. I’ve only ever handled a new one of these and the action seems smooth and broken in compared. I have the orig box, cloth, tools, grease/ lock tight , lanyard pin but no cord. There is not a Birth card with this one assuming because it is with the original blade. I also have a used LynchNW clip that has snails on it that is included, the orig clip doesent look like it ever saw carry.
Looking for $400TYD SOLD


Mnandi Madagascar Ebony - fair condition, Second owner. I purchased this (sadly) from the bay and it was sold as excellent condition however I would call it in fair/ user condition. The wood/ frame and clip are all in good condition. The wood has darkened a little from use and the clip has a few minor scratches on it. There is also one ding near the clip from what looks like a drop at some point. The area of sadness comes in the blade condition. It’s been sharpened (very poorly) one side has a bevel that was sharpened above the original bevel and one side is laid back more than standard angle. There are scratches and what I can only describe as swirl marks from where someone tried to polish it? Overall it is decently sharp but could use a good sharpening to try and fix the bevel. There is also one small roll or chip in the edge as well. It comes with the original box, birth card, tool and grease. No cloth or leather slip with this one. I’ve grown quite fond of this over the last couple of weeks so if it doesent sell I won’t be too sad :). It would make a great user!

I’ve tried to capture the best pictures I can to accurately describe the condition but if you need better pictures or a video please let me know. Looking for $390TYD SOLD PENDING

I will ship USPS Priority with tracking/ insured. Looking for PPFF or Zelle. PM me with any info or additional pics please. US lower 48 only please, no trades. First “I’ll take it” followed by a PM gets it.

If by lock rock you are referring to the slight movement when you press on the blade while it’s on a solid surface then yes slight up and down when force is applied. There is zero movement when held in your hand in any direction. As far as that goes every 31, my Inkosi and my 25 all have has this “lock rock”.
