Description: Dale Miller's attention to detail shines through this elegant gent's folder. The slip joint design, premium ELMAX stainless steel blade, and presentation grade koa wood make this a tremendous old school folder with modern performance. The Back Pocket design was originally developed by Tony Bose. He built it to be a perfect size to carry in your back pocket, set next to your wallet.
The 3.85 inch blade is formed from premium Bohler ELMAX stainless steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 61-62. ELMAX provides the extreme edge retention, high strength, and toughness a hard-use knife demands. High wear resistance in a steel usually means low corrosion resistance, but not with ELMAX. With this advanced steel, you get both properties. The blade has nice action and pivots on aluminum bronze bushings.
The gently rounded handle is formed from stabilized curly koa set on 410 stainless steel liners (Hrc 42-43). About ten very thin coats of Tru-Oil provide a rich, heirloom quality finish. Red G-10 liners add contrast and assist the knife to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. The backspring is formed from ELMAX. Heat treated to 46-47 Hrc.
Excellent work throughout.
