Description: This Willem Steenkamp custom Gunstock slip joint is a fantastic utility folder. The clip point blade and ergonomic handle are perfectly designed and implemented.
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 2.8 inch blade is made from premium CPM-154 stainless steel hardened to 59-60Hrc with a satin finish. This powdered metallurgical steel has a particularly small grain structure, making it take an extremely keen edge and hold it!
The blade is well centered with a firm half stop -- easily opened with the right handed thumb nick.
The handle combines crosscut natural Micarta with black linen Micarta 'bolsters' and antique Westinghouse Micarta spacers. The right scale features a stainless steel escutcheon. The combination of materials has exceptional contrast and is immediately captivating.
Exceptional work throughout!
