Description: From Brian Tighe comes a distinctive take on his classic sculpted flipper. This Tighe Fighter features 3D machined glow-in-the-dark carbon fiber scales.
The blade was made from RWL-34 stainless steel. RWL-34 is a premium powder metallurgy cutlery steel manufactured by ERASTEEL in Söderfors, Sweden. Because it is manufactured from rapidly solidified powders, the microstructure of the steel is much more uniform. This gives the steel much higher strength and resistance to cracking. A nightmare grind shows Tighe's skill at the grinder. The action is super-smooth and the blade well centered. The grinds feature a hand rubbed satin finish.
Glow-in-the-dark carbon fiber scales are precision 3D machined for a sure, comfortable grip. In the dark, the knife glows blue! The carbon fiber frame surrounds a G10 back spacer. The deep carry titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-handed, tip up carry. Dual titanium thumb studs make for easy right or left handed opening -- though you'll likely open the knife using the flipper mechanism. The blade is closed with a right handed button lock. Piercing at the back of the handle allows for the easy addition of a lanyard.
Exceptional work throughout.
