Description: This Celtic engraved folder features a unique opening system Andre developed called a front flipper. This modification on a flipper opening is tremendously easy to use and does not catch when stored in the pocket. When combined with the IKBS ball bearing system, the action is exceptional! The Ikoma Korth Bearing System (IKBS) was originally designed to fit balisong knives and uses ball bearings to create exceptional action with no blade play. This is among the smoothest knives we have ever felt.
The blade is formed from stainless twist pattern Damasteel. The steel is particularly high contrast and immediately captivating.
Black carbon fiber scales meet seamlessly with stainless steel bolsters. Each bolster was meticulously hand engraved by Julien Marchal. Belgium-born artist Julien Marchal studied engraving and gun making at Léon Mignon Liège in Belgium. Complex Celtic knots twist and writhe on the surface of the steel. Titanium liners are meticulously hand fileworked in a vine pattern and anodized to a blue tone. An anodized titanium clip is mounted for tip up carry. Attention to detail has been paid throughout this knife, with the fit and finish exceptional. This piece comes with a soft cordura pouch.
