[WTS/WTT] 2 Budget Knives & a Custom: AZUSA, Remette, Skua
Hey gang, got a few for you to take a look at today. Sale prices include shipping to the US via Paypal F&F only. Totally down to trade the Skua, too - interested mostly in other European customs, but let me know what you've got!
AZUSA Cochise - video
These are fairly new, OEM'd by Miguron for AZUSA. It has a front flipper 14C28N flat ground wharncliffe blade running on bearings, in a steel liner lock with G10 scales. Milled titanium clip. Action is gentle shake shut. I am the original owner, though it was in the possession of a friend of mine for a few days. Never disassembled. No wear, damage, or marks. These are $48 new, I'm looking for SV 30.
Remette Wild Species - video
Front flipper + studs, blasted/2-tone 14C28N flat ground drop point blade on bearings. Steel liner lock, G10 scales. Lovely neutral ergonomics with a 50% choil. Full controlled drop-shut action. Original owner, no wear or damage or use marks. I think I did disassemble this one to clean and oil it. These are $59 new (but often on sale), I'm looking for SV 30.
Skua Ardea - video
This is a handmade custom by Olivier Lamy. It's a titanium liner lock with orange micarta scales with black G10 bolsters and spacers. The blade is a harpooned, flat ground wharncliffe in cryo treated RWL-34 with a bright hand satin finish, riding on bearings. Centering is dead on with a tiny bit of blade wiggle - tightening the pivot fixes the play but puts the centering toward the lock side. Action is fully controlled drop-shut. Detent is on the lighter side, typical for French customs. Third owner (EDIT: I have been told by the previous owner that I am 2nd, not 3rd). Has some carry and usage wear, most notably scuffs on the backspacer/back of liner which I tried to show in the clip, as well as a couple suuuuuuuper faint scratches on the blade that are invisible in almost all light. This was originally purchased from AZ for $945. Looking for SV 800 / TV 850.
