Limited Knives and Tools Now Available
Bram Frank is clearing out his knife collection. He has prototypes, custom one-offs, limited run knives, etc. All that are taking up space. He wants them to go to a good home, to someone who will enjoy owning them or even using them.
This is your chance to get something that no one else has. Go look at what is available, but remember, once a tool is gone, it’s gone. They are all single item purchases.
