STill available - $300. And it now includes a nice kasumi finish, and a fresh edge of Japanese natural stones.

And pics of the knife with the kasumi finish (yass).

Only $300 for this custom handled kanesho aogami santoku! Kasumi was applied using a shobudani stone.

This is still available at a reduced price - $250 cash and collect. A custom handling job will cost you USD100 plus shipping to and fro to a foreign maker, at the minimum minimum. This comes with a Japanese made black saya as well, no pin. Awesome cutter and great all round package.

I don't post much now, the crowd has dried up. but since there is no real marketplace for these in the local context, I'll leave these up here:

1. Carothers SOLD

2. Enzo Birk 75, reground by Gareth Bull to be thin behind the edge and modded with the custom Emerson look - titanium bolsters, thumb dips, beveled front edge, dovetailed and raised green/brown micarta scales, blasted liner edges. Some screws need attention - either JB Weld or change new screws (Euro 6 for whole set when they are in stock from Brisa.fi), but for EDC/daily pocket carry, it's all good. I have the clip but have a screw missing. Used, scratches and marks. The foundation Birk 75 in S30V came with a low scandi grind and costs USD120 plus shipping. Throw in a regrind job, custom scales and bolsters and all the back and forth shipping, and you can see the costs going past USD400 (that's over SGD500 and time, effort and resources).

SGD370 cash and collect. Price is firm.

Knives are sold "as is", as they're users - there will be scratches and marks with use but you can see from the pictures it's not marked like being dragged on asphalt).

Thanks for looking.

dull the edge if you're going to bin it for safety of anyone handling waste disposal. you can simply just run the edge on concrete/rock a few times till it's dull.

why worry if it's dull. actually you can also give it away. only worry if it's used in crime. it's just another tool.

Hi Guys, have been collecting knives on and off for about a year. Mostly local sourced KA-BAR, Buck and a handful of garden varieties like S&W, Cold Steel.

I am looking to purchase direct from Knifecentre or Knifeology, are there anything I should be aware of? Quantity per shipment, length etc so as not to be unnecessarily intercepted by customs?

My rare Derek Fraley Handmade Custom Deluge for sale to serious collector(s) only. Only one of its kind - timascus bolsterlock. $5,450 price is firm and fixed. No trades. If you're interested, please PM. He has a multi-year waitlist and he does not make this bolsterlock with such details/configuration - I've had this for years but it's time for someone to take over. Time for Uncle Vespa to retire :s13: after 25 years of collecting exquisite folders.

Has anyone bought from wholeknives.com before? Seems like their warehouse is in Singapore, and comes with free shipping. Was looking at Leatherman multi-tools but quite unsure about their warranty... Prices are pretty good though.
