Description: This Willem Steenkamp custom Slip Joint Folder is a fantastic utility folder. The clip point blade and ergonomic handle are perfectly designed to be your go-to EDC. This knife is a lightweight, interesting little knife that is ergonomic, utilitarian, aesthetically pleasing, and solidly built. It is a knife that will give you quick function in a very non-threatening package.
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 3 inch clip point blade is made from N690 stainless steel hardened to 59HRC. It is hand satin finished. The grind lines are simply superb, since Willem did them by hand. N690 is 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 well centered and has smooth, consistent action with a firm half stop. The blade is easily opened using the extended thumb nick. Because slip joint folders don't have a lock, they are legal in nearly all jurisdictions. The stainless steel backspring provides a perfect resistance against the blade closing while in use.
The handle is made from crosscut natural Micarta. A green burlap Micarta bolster provides a beautiful contrast. On the left scale, matching Micarta is inlaid to form a shield. Though this knife uses modern, durable materials, it has a classic and elegant appearance.
Exceptional work throughout!
