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, RJ Martins, Rocksteads, Dalibors, Broadwells, Black Snow Customs, Phantom Steelworks, Jim Burkes, Blackwoods, VanderMeulens, Chris Goodwyns, Rogovets, Ansos, Grimsmos, 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. RJ Martin Oculus - like new - $3100
One of the most impressive knives I’ve handled
Double edged folding dagger flipper made by the king of flippers
CTS-XHP blade that measures 4 1/8”
Fit and finish on this one is impeccable
Contoured and fully machined ti frame with a seamless lightning strike carbon fiber inlay and a matching zirconium bolster
Orange-peeled zirc clip
Carbon fiber backspacer
The blade on this one is dead center but the grind is slightly asymmetrical at the tip making it look off
Locks up rock solid with zero play in any direction
Action is glass smooth and the detent is as perfect as you’d expect from RJ

2. TuffKnives Steampunk Tanic One-Off - near mint - $2200
This is Geoff’s most well known and most famous one-off
A lot of work has gone into this one
Acidwashed Japanese tanto blade with a harpoon swedge and an extra run of jimping
Custom pivot with a gear inlaid into the front and a removable brass nut pivot collar on the back
Bronzed ti frame with a tumbled orange-peel finish
Polished bronzed frame jimping
Show side has 2 oval windows and a set of watch gears showing through from the inside
2 thick bent wires with filed jimping are attached to the front and they add traction
Raised blued steel backspacer that’s been given a aged look
There’s a coil spring added to the back that sits in front the backspacer
The lockbar is chamfered on the inside so it’s hard to see the lockup but it’s at about 10-15%
Centering is good and the action is the snappiest I’ve had on a Tuff

3. Dwaine Carrillo Tunnel Ratt - near mint - $1100
Insane overbuilt folder with Dwaine’s signature style
Compound recurve blade that slightly over 4” and has a 2-tone satin
Contoured black G-10 show side
Satin lockside
Tumbled blue and gold striped clip
Red aluminum accents on the thumbstuds and clip standoffs
Centering is off to the show side by a hair
You might be able to tighten the pivot to center it but I haven’t tried to take tools to it
Smooth action and it locks with zero play

4. Skike Knives Rogue Shark - near mint - $850
Rarer washer pivot version
Huge compound American tanto blade that’s slightly under 4” with 3.75” of edge
Blade is in DLC coated CPM-3V and has a 2-tone finish that shows from under the coating
Satin grinds with orange-peeled flats
Also has a detent ramp
Satin orange-peel ti frame with a smoky flamed ano
Satin bronzed ti hardware
Floating DLC coated backspacer/glassbreaker
This is still a very new knife so the lockup isn’t fully broken in
Has some slight movement but it’s 100% safe and any pressure on the lockbar makes it lockup rock solid
Centering is perfect, action is smooth, and it feels great in hand
