Description: This Willem Steenkamp custom EDC-Ti Flipper is a beautiful utility folder that will feel as comfortable in the pocket as it would in any collection. The drop point blade and ergonomic handle are perfectly designed for the task at hand. The folder has incredibly smooth action thanks to the IKBS pivot. 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. The ambidextrous flipper is tremendously easy to use.
Willem was accepted as a member of the Knifemakers’ Guild of Southern Africa (KGSA) in May of 2007. His attention to detail and passion for his craft is clearly evident in his knives. His fit and finish is on par with the best makers out there!
The 3-1/4 inch drop point blade is made from M390 stainless steel hardened to 61 Hrc. The blade features a hand rubbed satin finish. M390 is a super-steel created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds on to it due to its high concentration of vanadium and chromium carbides. Its unique powder metallurgical process also promotes a uniform carbide distribution and clean steel properties, making M390 a popular steel used in surgical cutting instruments and in applications requiring a high finish. It offers excellent corrosion resistance due to its high concentration of chromium. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge.
The scales are made from natural canvas Micarta that has been domed to provide a comfortable grip. Blurple anodized titanium liners surround the matching Micarta backbar which keeps the knife strong, but light. An anodized and textured titanium pivot collar surrounds the custom titanium pivot. The pocket clip is made from matching Titanium and is mounted for right-handed, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
