Description: This Willem Steenkamp custom Nomad EDC liner lock is a full sized flipper and a fantastic utility folder. The clip point blade and ergonomic handle are perfectly designed for the task at hand.
Willem was accepted as a member of the Knifemakers’ Guild of Southern Africa (KGSA) in May of 2007. His attention to detail is clearly evident in his knives.
The clip point blade is made from N690 stainless steel hardened to 59HRC with a satin finish. N690 is a super-steel created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds on to it. Increased toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge.
The blade is perfectly centered with silky smooth action -- easily opened with one hand using the ambidextrous flipper toggle. 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.
The handle is made from OD green canvas micarta that keeps the knife light and strong. The carbon fiber bolsters meet perfectly to the micarta scales. The liners, backbar, and pocket clip are formed from anodized titanium. The pocket clip is mounted right-handed tip-up carry.
Exceptional work throughout!
