Description: Sean O'Hare is a bladesmith from Grand Manan, Canada. He has been making handmade knives since 2001 and moved to full time knifemaking in 2009. He strives to make each of his handmade knives with a clean, well thought out design that is both great looking and very functional.
The perfectly centered blade can be easily deployed using the ambidextrous flipper tab. The action is extremely smooth thanks to the ball bearing pivot. The flipper tab doubles as a guard to prevent your hand from sliding over the blade.
The Persian influenced blade is made from Chad Nichol's boomerang pattern san mai damascus. This steel combines the beauty of a complex damascus pattern with the high performance of Carpenter's CTS-XHP stainless steel. This results in a blade with high edge retention and unmatched beauty. A large choil allows you to choke up on the blade when performing more delicate cutting tasks.
Handle scales are formed from White Storm carbon fiber made by FatCarbon. This dramatic composite material creates a damascene pattern using thin layers of ceramic and carbon fiber. The unique carbon fiber produces a beautiful chatoyancy that reflects light exceptionally. The carbon fiber nicely complements the bolsters and blade.
Bolsters are formed from Black Timascus. Alternating layers of titanium and zirconium produce a stunning damascene pattern. Bronze anodized titanium pivot collars surround the custom blue anodized titanium pivot. Blue anodized titanium liners surround a fileworked and anodized backspacer. Torx screws throughout are made from titanium and anodized blue. The 3D machined Black Timascus pocket clip is mounted for right-handed, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
