Description: South African knifemaker Andre creates an amazing folder -- and at a price that could never be found from an American handmade knife.
The powdered metallurgical (PM) stainless steel blade has an heirloom quality satin finish. The steel and Andre's exceptional heat treatment ensure a keen, long lasting edge. The flipper style opening is a perfect combination with the Ikoma Korth Bearing System (IKBS) ball bearing system. The IKBS pivot system was originally designed to fit balisong knives and uses ball bearings to create exceptional action with virtually no blade play. The blade easily flicks open with silky-smooth action.
The frame, including bolsters, is milled from a solid piece of titanium, ensuring strength and durability. Carbon fiber scales are inlaid into the frame.
The knife is easily kept close at hand with the titanium pocket clip mounted for tip-up carry. Exceptional work throughout!
