Collection Pruning

My storage space is running low so it is time to do a bit of collection pruning. All of the following pieces (except as noted) were obtained directly from the makers and have seen little carry time and no hard use. Asking price includes shipping to the lower 48, international shipping is open to negotiation. Please be sure your local laws are consistent with a knife that may have your interest - I won't ship if I have concerns on that front. Payment by check or money order preferred, Paypal accepted from established Board members, though price adjustment by 3.5% will be requested for "goods and services" transactions. First unconditional "I'll take it" on any item gets it. No trades at this time. If you see something you like but you wish to make a reasonable offer, feel free. Most pieces are priced at or below my purchase price - I am pursuing a hobby not flipping to get rich.

1. Les Voorhies: Model 13 with 3.25" XHP blade. Dimensions are 4.2" closed, 7.3" OAL. Bronze ano Ti liners and clip, zirconium overlay and backspacer. SK titanium pivot screws, AKS bearings and ceramic detent ball. Pristine condition. Well centered, nice lock-up. (sold)

2. Les Voorhies: Model 14. If you want something out of the ordinary by Voorhies, have a look. 3.5" S90V blade with tanto grind.4.6" closed, 8.4" OAL. Ti liners and backspacer, patinated copper overlays.
I am not the first owner. On bearings, well centered with solid lock-up. Two things you will seldom see in Les's work - copper overlays and a tanto grind. Excellent condition with only minor signs of use. $950

3. Gavko/David Trastet one time collaboration. 3.5" RWL-34 @62 hrc. 7.6" OAL, stainless steel liners and sculpted pocket clip, ceramic bearings and detent. Handles are chipped pattern unidirectional carbon fiber. Not a flipper, but the action borders on the supernatural - a flick of a finger in the blade cut-out and the blade is deployed with the swift action that has become Gavco's trademark. Blade well centered, lock up firm. $1150

4. Ferrum Forge Stinger: 3.25" 20 CV blade, 7.25" OAL. Ano'd Ti framelock with blue ano's pivot, screws and stand-off. Well centered, early lock up. Only 20 were made - this is number 13. Minor scuff marks for those with sharp eyes. SOLD.

5. Ferrum Forge Ferox: A special ano's one-off variant of thid popular FF folder, it has a 3.50" CPM-4V blade adn 8.375" OAL. Ti frame-lock with golden bronze highlights on the pivots, the FF logo on the presentation side, the clip and clip side contoured surface. Well made folder with steel lock insert with internal overtravel arrestor and caged thrust bearings. Exellent conndition. $600.00.

6. Ferum Forge Deuce Redux: A FF classic with a 3.6" 20CV blade and 8.375" OAL. This Ti handle framelock features a marble carbon inlay, ceramic bearings, steel lock insert with overtravel arrestor and the Hoback Rolling Detent system. The Deuce Redux was produced in a limited run of 25 - but Elliot had a few extra parts on hand in case something went amiss. They were used to produced this "SP" version of the Deuce Redux with stunning golden bronze ano treatment. Excellent condition with well centered blade and firm lock up. This is a hard one to part with. $1200.00.
