Description: This Willem Steenkamp custom Nomad Flipper EDC liner lock is a full sized flipper and a fantastic utility folder. The blade and ergonomic handle are perfectly designed for the task at hand.
Willem was accepted as a member of the Knifemakers’ Guild of Southern Africa (KGSA) in May of 2007. His attention to detail is clearly evident in his knives.
The blade is made from N690 stainless steel hardened to 59HRC with a satin finish. N690 is a super-steel created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds on to it. Increased toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge.
The blade is perfectly centered with silky smooth action -- easily opened with one hand using the ambidextrous flipper toggle. The blade uses the IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) pivot system. This mechanism, which was originally designed to fit balisong knives, uses ball bearings to create exceptional action with no blade play.
The handle is made from OD green G10 that keeps the knife light and strong. The black G10 bolsters meet perfectly to the OD green scales. OD green G10 is expertly inlaid around the pivot. The liners, backbar, and pocket clip are formed from bronze anodized, textured titanium. The textured, anodized titanium pocket clip is mounted right-handed, tip-up carry.
Exceptional work throughout!
