Custom Modified Liong Mah KUF V2 m390 Entropic Ano Titanium Gold Snakeskin CF For Sale

This item is a Liong Mah KUF (Kitchen Utility Knife) v2 in M390. These were special in the sense that they not only have a thumb hole opener, but also a top flipper (unlike any other designs out there). The top flipper is so intuitive, if you struggle with front flippers, this is the knife for you. This is a special knife to me. I first sent the blade over to Josh @ REK Knives to be DLC coated (I don't remember the exact price for this, but it was roughly $125-$175). He does an amazing job, and all of his DLC testing is still on his website, although he no longer offers the service while making his own knives now. The next thing I did was remove the horrid brown micarta inlays (they got ruined by the super glue dissolver I used so they will not be included). I then hand polished every piece of titanium (basically the whole handle). I then entropic anodized all of the handle, and heat anodized all of the hardware. I ordered some legit gold snakeskin Fatcarbon from the manufacturer in Lithuania (material and shipping was roughly $75. Once recieved I hand made some custom inlays to replace the stock micarta inlays. I have put countless time piecing this together. I have put together a piece of art, that I cannot justify using, so therefore I cannot justify keeping. Since this knife is so heavily modded, I can't label it as like new in box, but you can see in the pictures that it is still like new condition. The stock knife was $430, plus DLC $150, plus Carbon Fiber $75 puts this at $655 - not counting all of the work and time I have put into it. Comes with knife, stickers, unused microfiber cloth, and pouch. Any questions please reach out.
