Description: From Brian Tighe comes a distinctive take on his classic sculpted flipper. This ultra-light Tighe Fighter features a 3D machined marbled carbon fiber frame with a very rare Stellite blade.
Stellite is a completely non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant cobalt alloy. It is quite hard and maintains a good cutting edge and resists hardening and annealing. Stellite displays outstanding hardness and toughness. Stellite is quite difficult to machine and Brian has done a truly amazing job. A nightmare grind truly shows Tighe's skill. The action is super-smooth and the blade well centered. The blade combine a mirrored tumbled finish and a satin finished tumbled finish. This differential finish emphasizes his clean, crisp grind lines.
The marbled carbon fiber frame has been 3D machined for a sure, comfortable grip. The frame surrounds a shredded carbon fiber back spacer. The deep carry titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-handed, tip-up carry. Dual titanium thumb studs make for easy right or left handed opening -- though you'll likely open the knife using the flipper mechanism. The blade is closed with a right handed button lock. Piercing at the back of the handle allows for the easy addition of a lanyard.
Exceptional work throughout!
