Description: Richard Soler is a talented folding knife maker from Auriol, France. He specializes in high performance front flippers. The influence of his good friend and fellow maker Guy Pogetti can clearly be seen in his work. Richard's work is exceptional and we are excited to showcase it here in the United States where his work is rarely available.
The RWL-34 stainless steel blade is stonewash finished. RWL-34 is a premium powder metallurgy cutlery steel manufactured by Damasteel 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 provides an excellent thumb purchase.
The blade is perfectly centered and has silky-smooth, drop-shut action thanks to the ball bearing pivot. The blade can be easily deployed using the front flipper tab using your thumb or index finger.
Handle scales are antique rag Micarta dating back to World War II. The contoured scales feel comfortable in your hand. Titanium liners surround a carbon fiber backbar. Orange liners add an additional touch of contrast. The 3D machined titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
