Description: This Willem Steenkamp custom Gunstock slip joint is a fantastic utility folder. The clip point blade and ergonomic handle are perfectly designed and implemented.
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 blade is made from premium CPM-154 stainless steel hardened to 61Hrc with a hand rubbed satin finish. This powdered metallurgical steel has a particularly small grain structure, making it take an extremely keen edge and hold it!
The blade is well centered with a firm half stop -- easily opened with the right handed thumb nick.
The handle combines OD green canvas Micarta with black linen Micarta 'bolsters'. The right scale features a stainless steel escutcheon. The combination of materials has exceptional contrast and is immediately captivating.
Exceptional work throughout!
