Description: From Brian Tighe comes a distinctive take on his classic sculpted flipper. This Tighe Fighter features 3D contoured carbon fiber scales infused with copper.
The tanto blade was made from high performance RWL-34. RWL-34 is a premium powder metallurgy cutlery steel manufactured by ERASTEEL in Söderfors, Sweden. Because it is manufactured from rapidly solidified powders, the microstructure of the steel is much more uniform. This gives the steel higher strength and resistance to cracking. A nightmare grind shows Tighe's skill at the grinder. The blade features a hand rubbed satin finish. The action is extremely smooth and the blade perfectly centered.
Copper infused carbon fiber scales are precision 3D machined for a sure, comfortable grip. The scales surround a jimped black G10 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 ambidextrous 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.
