If you have any questions about what's listed just let me know and I'll try to help you out. For more details, specs, or pictures, ask and ye shall receive. You can reach me by starting a conversation 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 cover the cost of shipping. Thanks for your time.

For trades, I'm looking for: Yunas, DireWares, GTC's, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Phantom Steelworks, Kirby Lamberts, Blackwoods, Lightfoots, Jason Clarks, Hobacks, a Todd Begg Beggatti, Rassentis, a Demko AD15, Dervishs, Jon Grahams, Grimsmos, non-locking MSC PT, Marfione MSG-3, DOC, ZT 0454, and maybe a custom Emerson or Strider but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.

1. Yuna Knives Qi 4 - brand new - $1700 --> Traded
Hands down the sharpest knife I've handled or owned
Fighter style knife with a 4" blade
Hollow ground M390 blade with a convex edge
Perfect hand satin on the blade
White micarta scale with a marble carbon fiber bolster
Marble CF over-travel stop
Blasted and flamed ti
Layered backspacer
Had it sent out to Yun for a spa earlier this year but I haven't carried it since it returned
Lockup is solid when there is pressure on the lockbar
There is slip out of hand but it might just need to be re-broken in after the spa
Action is hydraulic and smoother than a Sebenza
Centering slightly favors the presentation side but doesn't come close to rubbing
Fits comfortable in hand in any number of grips

3. Dustin Turpin Insight - near mint - $650
Hand satin finished 3.5" blade
Distressed ti bolsters and clip
Brown micarta scales
Carbon fiber backspacer
Has been lightly used so there are some faint scratches on the blade
Centering favors the presentation side but doesn't rub even when you put pressure on the other side
Lockup is solid with no play and the action is incredible, opens and closed effortlessly

4. Doc Shiffer Custom Designated Marksman - like new - $600
Very well made 3.75"-4" flipper
Blade has a smoky hamon
Sculpted bronze working finish titanium handle with polished highs
If you grab the blade and really force it, there is the slightest bit of up-and-down play; doesn't affect the function at all and you'd only notice if you were checking for it
It has one of the best actions I've handled, liquid smooth and it will open regardless of how you use the flipper
The blade sits dead center in the handle
Feels great in hand in a number of different grips

5. TuffKnives customized Sniper Bladeworks LPC - near mint - $450
Blade measures 4" from the end of the handle
Contoured and sculpted slab of carbon fiber for the presentation side
Lockside is tumbled ti
Geoff put the swedge and thumb indent on the blade and worked on the carbon fiber
Extremely smooth action even with a tight pivot
Solid lockup with no play in any direction, and perfect centering
Fits very nicely in hand
You can use the little tab in the last picture as a flipper and it works fairly well
