Description: Andre van Heerden started making handmade folders shortly after his start in 2002 and his natural talent at the craft is readily apparent. His dedication to use exacting standards and quality materials produce pieces that are superior in build and elegant in design.
The N690 stainless blade is meticulously hand satin finished which shows off clean, dramatic grind lines. N690 is a super-steel created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds it. The increased toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping. The blade is hollow ground for easy maintenance. It has silky smooth action and is well centered.
Carbon fiber scales are carved into a pattern that radiates from the center of the handle. Anodized titanium liners surround the carbon fiber backbar. The domed handle conforms comfortably to the hand while jimping on the spine ensure a steadfast grip. A pierced carbon fiber pocket clip is mounted for tip up carry. Despite the large size of this knife, using carbon fiber and titanium has kept it extremely light.
Exceptional work throughout!
