If you have any questions about what's listed, just let me know and I'll do my best to help you out. For more details, specs, or pictures, ask and ye shall receive. You can reach me through private message or through my email: kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. 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.

For trades, I'm looking for: Jon Grahams, Ochs Worx, Yunas, Marlowes, Direwares, GTCs, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Lee Williams, RJ Martins, Rocksteads, Dalibors, Broadwells, Black Snow Customs, Phantom Steelworks, Jim Burkes, Blackwoods, VanderMeulens, Chris Goodwyns, Rogovets, Jason Clarks, Jason Guthries, ZT 0454, and maybe a custom Emerson or just Striders in general but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.

1. Jim Burke Runt Auto Prototype - near mint - $675
One of the best designed small knives I've had
There were very few automatic Runts made and this is a prototype, I've only seen 1 other
Only has 2.25" of cutting edge but feels like a much more substantial knife with the way it likes to be held in hand
Stonewashed blade with a satin main grind
The anodizing work is top notch, frame is tumbled blurple with a dot pattern that runs the spectrum
Blue backspacer with satin highs
Fits very well in hand
Opens 100% reliably
Locks up securely if you make sure the button-lock fully engages
Centering is dead on

2. W.R. Bladeworks Drake - near mint - $1700
Perfect example of why Walter Randolph is considered one of the best
Fit and finish is absolutely perfect
Acidwashed S35VN blade
Polished and contoured lightning strike carbon fiber scales, can't feel any wires poking out
Acidwashed liners and clip
Copper backspacer
There are some finish wear on the clip and on the flipper
Has a stiff detent so it flies open with a nice snap
Runs smooth on IKBS, lockup is tight, and centering is dead on

3. Frank Fischer Custom - near mint - $1000
Very well put together 3.5" folder and apparently Frank Fischer's first folder
Fit between the liners and the backspacer is about as perfect as it gets, 100% seamless
Recurve blade with a perfect hand satin
Polished carbon fiber scales
Carbon fiber inlay on both sides of the thumbstud
3D milled clip and jeweled liners
Has been carried so expect some light scratches on the clip and liners
There is a slight bit of blade play but the knife is safe
Smooth action and perfect centering

4. Will Moon Stormcrow - near mint - $425
Upgraded with a CPM-20CV tanto blade
2-tone hand satin blade with a mirror satin on the flats
Black frame with the new clamshell construction
Blasted inset linerlock and Begg-style clip
Runs smooth on caged bearings and flips well
There is some slight blade play that might go away as the knife breaks in
Blade sits well centered

5. Jeff VanderMeulen Mini Intro - near mint - $550
3.5" S30V blade with a stonewashed hand satin finish
Contoured handle with stonewashed ti bolsters and green G-10 scales
Runs smooth on IKBS and has a nice snappy detent
Locks with zero play
Centering favors the lockside but doesn't come close to rubbing the liner, even when I try to push it over
Very comfortable in hand
