Description: Valence Knives is a two man shop run by Ilya Pasumanskiy and Matthew McGinniss. Ilya is a full time Aerospace machinist while Matt is a mixed bag of tricks with his profession leaning more towards the electro-mechanical field in the Aerospace market. The two of them have always had a passion for edged tools and bring their highly specialized skills into the world of high end knives. Valence knives are machined with CNC technology out of a multi-million dollar machine shop and completely finished by hand.
The Nocturne Flipper may just be the most fidgetable folding knife ever made! Designed from the ground up as a multi-opening system, the Nocturne is designed to be used as a front flipper, regular flipper, and features a hole opening that allows you to easily flick the blade open. The perfectly centered blade has silky smooth, drop shut action thanks to the Skiffmade caged bearing system. Each Nocturne is individually serialized. This is the 58th Nocturne ever made.
The Wharnecliffe blade is made from RWL-34 stainless steel and is satin finished in the grinds and stonewashed on the flats. RWL-34 is a premium powder metallurgy cutlery steel manufactured in Söderfors, Sweden. Because it is made from rapidly solidified powders, the microstructure of the steel is much more uniform. This gives the steel much higher strength and resistance to cracks and chips. Jimping on the spine offers an excellent thumb purchase.
The handle is made from machined and textured titanium. The titanium backbar is jimped to provide additional traction when pulling the knife from your pocket. Titanium damascus pivot collars surround the TiConnector pivot. A replaceable lockbar insert ensures the knife will have a rock solid lockup for generations to come! The 3D machined titanium damascus pocket clip with ceramic retention ball is mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
This is a knife you won't want to miss!
