Description: South African knifemaker George Muller makes an exceptionally dramatic knife -- and at a price that would never be found from a US maker. The colors, textures and style all work perfectly together. The combination of mammoth ivory and damascus immediately captures the eye and inspires the imagination.
The blade is hand ground twist pattern damascus forged by Damasteel in Sweden. The damascus pattern is extremely engaging both up close and from afar. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge.
The blade has smooth action -- easily opened with one hand using the ambidextrous flipper toggle. It uses the IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) pivot system. This mechanism, which was originally designed to fit balisong knives, uses ball bearings to create exceptional action with no blade play. This special folder is made with ceramic ball bearings. Generally IKBS bearings are made either from tool steel or from stainless steel. Stainless steel can wear away, resulting in uneven action over time. Tool steel bearings can oxidize making the action rough. Ceramic bearings are the best of all worlds -- extremely hard and wear resistant, they are also inert and will not oxidize.
Mammoth ivory scales are well matched in caramel and green tones. Black Timascus front and rear bolsters are dovetailed to the scales for a perfect fit. Titanium liners are anodized and surround a damascus backbar. The stainless damascus pocket clip is mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
An excellent knife from George Muller that is sure to demand attention!
