Description: This folding knife was made by South African knifemaker Herucus Blomerus. A resident of Pretoria, Herucus (pronounced 'eh-roo-koos') has been a proud member of the South African Knifemakers Guild since 2005.
The drop point N690 stainless blade is meticulously hand satin finished in the grinds and mirror polished on the flats. N690 is a steel created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds on to it. The increased toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping. The blade is hollow ground for easy, quick touchups.
The blade is easily opened using the flipper mechanism. It is perfectly centered and has silky-smooth action due to the IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) pivot system. This mechanism, which was originally designed to fit balisong knives, uses ball bearings to create smooth action with no blade play.
Handle scales are formed from carbon fiber and feature blue C-Tek inlays. This is a material that has been "in the works" since 1995. The material is absolutely stunning in its appearance and its ability to reflect light. C-Tek gives a whole new depth to the knifemaking art. The contoured scales provide a comfortable, secure grip! Titanium liners are fileworked and keep the knife light and strong. The titanium pocket clip with ceramic retention ball is mounted for right-handed, tip-up carry.
Herucus is clearly a maker to keep an eye out for - exceptional fit and finish throughout!
