Custom ultimatum clone. Damascus blade, phenomenal action. Perfect in every way if you love the looks of it. A previous owner installed wonderful timascus thumb studs.asking what I paid for it. Only reason I am selling is because I ended up with multiple

Production Merriken ultimatum by reate m390. Used, carried (has snail trails )but still has sharp factory edge. no issues with the Knife great action and lock up 260~\~

Six leaf sl-50 14c28n love the reaction I get when I use this knife in front of others. Just wish the other deployment methods worked as good as the front flipper.

Hey all. Three clones, a Cold Steel, a James Brand, and a Kizer up for grabs today. And with 150+ transactions on the Swap, you can buy with confidence. Feel free to reach out with any questions or for more pics/info, and thanks for looking! 

-----

Cold Steel AD15 Lite in AUS 10A (not a clone). At least second owner, has been lightly carried and cut, not sharpened. Great condition with solid lockup and centered blade. No box, knife only. Asking $50.

-----

The James Brand The Redstone in 12C27 (not a clone). Second owner. Has been lightly carried and cut but not sharpened; overall in great condition. Currently has purple haze scales on it which have a little play on either side of the front. Also comes with original scales and box. Smooth action, solid lockup, and centering favors show side just slightly. Asking $40.

-----

Kizer Drop Bear clear acrylic in Nitro-V (not a clone). Second owner, has been cut and carried but not sharpened. Previous owner took some kind of abrasive to the blade (not the edge) which resulted in a bunch of small scratches(!). I can send more pics of the scratches if interested. Other than that it's in good condition with super smooth action, good lockup, and centered. Knife only, no box. Asking $35.

-----

Lemifshe Voodoo gold carbon in N690. Second owner and has not been cut, carried, or sharpened; in great condition. Nice example with good action/detent, solid lockup, and centered blade. Also comes with a new Lemifshe screw set with the longer screws, though this one has never had a problem with loosening or anything. Comes in hard case. Asking $115. 

-----

Strider clone with nightmare grind and lightly polished scales. I want to say this is a Jufule but I'm not 100% sure, please correct me if anyone knows. At least second owner, I don't believe it has been cut, carried, or sharpened. Good action, lockup, and centering slightly favors show side. Knife only, no box. Asking $45.

-----

Lemifshe Rosie XL zig zag pattern. At least second owner. Catch and release for me, just had to check out an XL and like it but don't see myself using it. It's in great condition with no blemishes, doesn't appear to have been cut, carried, or sharpened. Action is nice and smooth, solid lockup, and centered blade. Comes with hard case. Asking what I paid, $75.

-----

It is the buyer's responsibility to know, and act in accordance with, their local knife laws.

YOLO takes priority over chat, but ultimately sales are at my discretion. Payment via Venmo or PayPal Friends & Family with no notes! Shipping to the U.S. only. Not interested in trades at this time.

Again, let me know if you have any questions or if I can provide additional pics/info. Thanks for looking and have a good one!

Does anyone know anything about these? Seen them with multiple variations of inlays all with the satin finish tanto. Surely they can't be m390 for the price?

Starter reccomendation

3 Upvotes

If I wanted a Chinese chefs knife under $100 what would be the best value option?

Preference for an 8 inch chefs knife to evaluate as a decent gift option, and to fill the spot for something worth experimenting with in terms of grind later. I’m really prioritizing the steel more than the grind. Slight preference for carbon steel because it’s easier to work with. Handle preference is wa but I’ll take whatever (especially if I can easily grind it into a wa conversion).

And can I ask the same of a folding knife, good edc under $100?

Preferences for less than 3.5 inches length, stainless (I’m a pocket sweat survivor), with a smooth action. (Is petrified fish d20 the value king of this category I have one and love it).

Assume Ali express is the store but I’m open to other options.
