If you have any questions about what's here, let me know and I'll do my best to help you out. For more details, specs, or pictures, just ask and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I don't get notifications for profile messages so PMs or shooting me an email at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com is the best way to reach me. I also check my threads every once in a while so I'll usually see your posts. I can work with you on the price for some of these and I'm open to trades. If you don't have much feedback or forum history, I might ask you to ship first. 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. The knives will come with what's shown unless otherwise stated. Thanks for taking a look.
For trades, I'm looking for: Jon Grahams, Ochs Worx, Yunas, Marlowes, Tashi collabs and customs, GTCs, Sharknivcos, RJ Martins, Dalibors, Broadwells, Black Snow Customs, VanderMeulens, Chris Goodwyns, Rogovets, Mosiers, Guthries, Rotten Designs, ZT 0454, G&G Deadlock, Rockstead Shun, and maybe a custom Emerson or just Striders in general but I'll always be open to other offers. I like seeing what's out there and the worst I can do is pass. Cash can be added either way.
1. Ochs Worx Avant - near mint - $1000
Perfectly built Ochs custom
3.25" working finish CPM-S35VN blade with a crowned and polished spine
A lot of hand work went into carving that pattern in the layered G-10
Satin liners
Hammered copper backspacer
Copper pivot collars
Sculpted clip, carved and anodized to go with the backspacer
Snappy action, perfect centering, and solid lockup
2. Randy Doucette Stinger - like new - $600 --> Sold
Impressively built 3 3/8" bladed flipper
Thick CPM-S30V blade with a recurve grind, compound grind swedge, Spyderhole, and a tri-tone satin
Flats have a horizontal satin, grinds have a vertical satin, and the front grind on the swedge has a hand satin
Polished carbon fiber bolsters with ivory paper micarta scales
Flips amazingly well on phosphor bronze washers, doesn't take much for it to drop shut
Locks with zero play and centering is dead on
3. Sergey Rogovets XR-9 - lightly carried - $725
This one is prototype #1 and I'm fairly sure it's a 1-off, I haven't seen another XR-9
Blackwashed tanto blade with a faux-hamon along the edge
Satin frame with blue anodized crosshatch milling on both sides
Has been carried so there are some light scratches
Fit and finish is perfect
Centered, locks with no play at all, great detent, and a snappy reliable action
4. WR Bladeworks Prometheus - near mint - $1400
Acidwashed 3.75" CPM-S35VN blade
Contoured and acidwashed ti bolsters
Polished and contoured lightning strike carbon fiber scales
Deep carry clip
Gear pattern backspacer
Centering slightly favors the lock side
If you grab the blade and wrench on it, you can barely feel a small bit of play
Amazingly smooth nearly drop shut action
Well tuned action, flies open and locks with a snap
Blade hole is fully functional and it can be Spydieflicked
