Description: Brian Tighe produces unique, functional and visually appealing knives of the highest quality. His blades are the product of 25 years of experience in metallurgy artistry and tactical expertise. His new sculpted Integral Tighe Breaker 3.5 model has some incredible details that demand your attention. Not only is the Tighe Breaker 3.5 more pocket friendly than the larger Tighe Breaker, but the handle is machined from one solid piece of carbon fiber.
This Tighe Breaker 3.5 Integral Flipper features a rare Talonite blade. This highly desired, non-ferrous metal has exceptional edge holding far beyond the limits of many steel knives while remaining fully rust proof. If buried in salt water it would take over 1000 years to develop any oxidation! The drop point blade has incredibly smooth action and a perfectly centered blade. It can be deployed easily using the ambidextrous flipper or the dual thumbstuds. A button lock makes closing the blade with one hand a breeze!
The ergonomic carbon fiber handle has been heavily fluted providing a beautiful, yet incredibly comfortable grip. Most makers would have created two slabs of carbon fiber and set a spacer material in between. This integral handle is machined from one solid piece of carbon fiber. It is a true feat of machining -- and could be accomplished by very few knifemakers! This construction keeps the knife incredibly strong yet light, weighing a mere 2.8 ounces! A zirconium pivot collar surrounds the custom pivot. Zirconium is a transitional metal that is primarily mined in South Africa and Australia. It is highly resistant to corrosion and scuffing. The knife is finished with a matching fluted zirconium deep carry pocket clip that is mounted for right-handed, tip-up carry.
This is an exceptional knife from Brian Tighe that you won't want to miss!
