Consignment, now it is your chance for this treasure!
Buying Consignment from us means trusted eyeballs and hands are between you and an unknown seller on the web.
We do our best to take great pics and give you a description of the item and any issues.
Of course, no returns or exchanges, but if there is a factory warranty we will help you as a dealer.
The price is a balance of condition and how rare something is, along with what the seller wants. Penchetta has an 75/25 split (we get the smaller part) and while we offer advice, we don't set the final price.

Condition: Like new, no scratches or dings. The blade does not have any blemishes and is centered. Comes with a soft case.
South African knifemakers André Thorburn and André van Heerden create exceptional folders. When they work together, they create A2 knives. The All front flipper features an ergonomic design with bold, modernistic curves. The blade is perfectly centered with silky smooth, drop shut action -- easily opened with one hand using the ambidextrous front flipper toggle. It runs on an IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) pivot. This mechanism, which was originally designed to fit balisong knives, uses ball bearings to create exceptional action with no blade play.
Thorburn and van Heerden created this A11 Front Flipper with ceramic ball bearings. Generally, IKBS bearings are made either from tool steel or from stainless steel. Stainless steel can wear away, resulting in uneven action over time. Tool steel bearings can oxidize making the action rough. Ceramic bearings are the best of all worlds. Extremely hard and wear resistant, they are also inert and will not oxidize.
The blade is hand ground M390 premium stainless steel. M390 is a super-steel created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds onto it due to a high concentration of vanadium and chromium carbides. Its unique powder metallurgical process also promotes a uniform carbide distribution and clean steel properties, making M390 a popular steel used in surgical cutting instruments and in applications requiring a high finish. It offers excellent corrosion resistance due to its high concentration of chromium. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge. Handle scales are silver shred carbon fiber meticulously inlaid into black paper Micarta. Jimping on the thumb ramp aids grip. The gently rounded handle feels sturdy and fills your hand perfectly. The custom pivot and collar are heat colored zirconium. The handle is completed with blue anodized titanium liners surrounding a carbon fiber backspacer. The 3D machined zirconium pocket clip is mounted for tip-up, right-side carry.
