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 modified swayback blade is formed from twist Damasteel stainless damascus from Sweden. The pattern is immediately captivating - both from a distance and upon closer examination. The action is silky smooth -- easily opened with one hand using the ambidextrous flipper toggle. Twin peridot have been inlaid into the toggle flipper. The blade 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. Dual titanium liners are anodized blue. The liners surround a 416 stainless steel backbar.
The handle material is very rare lightning strike carbon fiber. It was used in military aerospace applications and is designed to reduce damage to aircraft from lightning strikes. Copper wires running through the carbon fiber weave offer a very unique and attractive handle material.
The heat colored bolsters are made from matching twist Damasteel stainless damascus. They are dovetailed to the lightning strike carbon fiber scales for a perfect fit. A stainless damascus pocket clip is set for right handed, tip up carry. Like the flipper, it is inlaid with a faceted peridot.
Excellent fit and finish throughout!
