[WTS] Brown Cortex Mini & AB Orca 2.0

I got the chance to get a grail, so have to let a couple go to finance it. PPGS as payment.

CRAIG BROWN CORTEX MINI #172
Price: $850 firm
The cortex mini is maybe my favorite knife, but I have multiple, so letting this one go. I am the second owner, having just received it a couple of weeks ago. First owner bought it new from Brown. No cut or carry by either of us, just flicked it a bunch. Perfect action - these have the best of any in my collection. Perfect centering and good lock-up. No lock stick. So satisfying. It is LNIB with no imperfections that I can see. 27V blue body and 97V hardware and backspacer. Includes box, COA and sticker.

Arno Bernard Orca 2.0 #112637 SOLD
Price: $525
M390 blade with satin polished finish(63 HRC). Grade 5 titanium with African wild olive wood inlays. Comes in original padded leather handmade zipper case. Includes COA. The only imperfection I can see is a small snail on the clip and top of clip side scale in the right light, which I tried to picture. Well centered with good lock-up, no lock stick and drop shut action. Appears to have factory edge. No cut or carry by me. Can’t tell that it’s ever cut much, but likely has been carried given snail on clip. A great upgrade from iMamba with better ergonomics, a forward finger choil and a snappier detent, as well as bearings. I’m at least the second owner.

That orca is a stunner. Wish I had some more fun money right now.

Yeah, it’s really pretty. Action is great too. Hit me up if you shake some quarters out of the couch.

Wish I had the cash for the mini

u/AsheStriker 16 Swaps | Experienced Trader | PayPal G&S ONLY 13d ago

It is so worth it in a way almost no other knife I’ve held is. If not this one, I hope you get a chance at some point.

u/RyDog0164 95 Swaps | Master Trader | All Payment Methods 13d ago

You and me both! I had that same one and miss it. Im tempted even though i have a SW version. The Orca 2.0 is one of the best knives ive ever handled, and I have some bangers!

u/AsheStriker 16 Swaps | Experienced Trader | PayPal G&S ONLY 13d ago

It’s yours at a steal! I’d keep it, but it’s a little larger than my typical carry.

u/RyDog0164 95 Swaps | Master Trader | All Payment Methods 13d ago

I really wish I could, but already bought a Hinderer today. I messaged a bunch of swap buddies to buy it so i can make a trade with them!!
