Description: This Kosie Steenkamp custom front flipper is a fantastic utility folder -- yet it would feel equally comfortable in most any collection. The drop point blade and ergonomic handle are perfectly designed for the task at hand.
Kosie was inspired by and introduced to knife making by his brother, Willem Steenkamp. He began making knives in 2007 and was accepted as a member of the Knifemakers’ Guild of Southern Africa (KGSA) in May of 2009. Kosie is a stickler for detail and perfection, all these qualities and his obvious passion for this craft comes through in his work.
The drop point blade is made from N690 stainless steel blade and is differentially finished to emphasize his clean grind lines. N690 is created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds onto it. Increased toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping. The blade is hollow ground for easy maintenance. It can be easily rotated open using the front flipper tab with your thumb.
Handle scales are made from lightning strike carbon fiber. Lightning strike carbon fiber was developed by the military for use in fighter jets. Copper strands are interwoven with the carbon layers. The scales meet perfectly with orange peel textured, bronze anodized titanium bolsters. The bronze anodized titanium liners are jewel polished on the interior. The bronze anodized titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-handed, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
