Prices include fees and USPS Priority shipping CONUS (insured with signature of receipt). No international shipping at this time. PayPal G&S only please. Payment must be made promptly. If payment is not made within a reasonable time period (within 4 hours) the knife will go to the next person in line. I will not hold knives.

The first unqualified "I'll take it" in the thread gets it. Once you post in the thread PM me to exchange payment and shipping info. I am happy to answer questions via PM, but if someone else posts in thread in the mean time they get priority.

You are responsible for complying with all laws concerning knives in your area.

TRADES: At present I would consider in partial trade a ZT 0630CF or Hinderer Gen 6 XM-18 3.5" skinner (jade handle preferred). Knives can be used but must be in excellent condition, and be good examples of their model (centered blade, tight lockup, smooth action, etc.).

Thanks for looking.

Direware Solo V6 - $1295>>$1270
LNIB. I like big knives so I bought this knife after reading all the positive comments on the forum. It is actually the first Direware I considered buying because I never liked the featureless titanium handles on earlier models. I must say that Direwares certainly live up to their reputation. The blue twill inlays really elevate the aesthetics of this knife. The inlays are perfectly inset with flawless transitions. The titanium handles are nicely contoured with titanium barrel back spacers. The pivot has the new "open" see through design. The blade is M390 with a satin finish. Good detent with excellent flipping action. Blade is centered and lockup is solid. Blade drops shut like a guillotine (I would have lost a thumb the first time I popped the lock if it wasn't for the flipper tab). There are a few fine scratches at the top of the blade that can only be seen in bright direct light (see last picture). The scratches were there when I received the knife from the dealer. Overall, a great knife, but I just don't see myself using it. Selling it for less than I paid. Comes with protective mesh sleeve and box.

Demko AD-10 - SOLD
This is a beast. Thick blade and liners. Contoured, tan G10 scales make it extremely comfortable in the hand. Stonewashed titanium frame and clip. Beadblasted S30V, 3.75 blade. 9.125 inches overall. Blade is centered and opening is buttery smooth. Lockup is bank vault solid. It bought it directly from Andrew and carried it for about a year until I bought a lightweight AD-10 and found it easier to carry. It shows multiple snail trails on the clip and frame but the blade is pristine. I have never sharpened the blade and it is still very sharp.

Crawford Kasper Fighter - $580>>$555
This is a beautiful rendition of the iconic Bob Kasper/Pat Crawford design. The blade is 3 7/8 inches of satin S30V. Overall length is 9 1/8 inches. The handle is upgraded polished carbon fiber scales over a titanium frame. Steel pocket clip. Both the frame and clip have an eye catching engine turned pattern. The handle has a deep finger groove and a dropped butt which fits the hand perfectly. I know a lot of people worry about polished carbon fiber being slippery. But, with this knife I feel it allows my hand to slide into a tighter grip on the handle which is already designed for retention. The action is buttery smooth and lock up is nice and tight. The blade is slightly off centered to the non-clip side, but there is no rubbing. Never carried, used, or sharpened. Mint safe queen all the way.

Mike Obenauf Big Bandit #3 - $415>>$390
Mint condition. 1of 20 of a limited run model for True North Knives. The satin S30V blade is 3.75 inches long. Overall length is 8.6 inches. The titanium handle has a "cool blast" finish (think fine orange peel texture) and is topped with contoured carbon fiber scales. G10 backspacer. Steel pocket clip. The action is very smooth. The blade has a tight lockup and is perfectly centered.

Darrel Ralph 4" AXD SAO - $500>>$475
Very good condition. I am the original owner. This is one of the most compact 4 inch bladed knives I have ever handled. It has been carried and lightly used so there are small scratches on the frame and blade. (see pictures). It has never been sharpened and is still very sharp. The blade is S30V and measures 3.9 inches long. The lockup is early and tight. The blade is just a hair off centered to the clip side. The spring assisted opening is very brisk. Comes with DDR soft zippered case.

Chuck Gedraitis Bad Ass Bowie - $515>>$490
Near mint condition. It has been handled and admired but never carried, used, or sharpened. The blade is 3.75" of CPM-154. The blade has a 2 tone finish with satin flats and darkened bevels. The dark finish is intact, but is a little uneven. Overall length 8.25". Both the handle and clip are orange peel textured titanium. The frame lock has an early, tight lockup. Good detent and smooth, quick flipping action. Blade centering is good.
