Description: This exceptional folder won Best Folder at the 2014 Idaho Knife Association Show in Boise. Bruce built it bridge the gap between tactical and traditional folders. I often call this style a "gent's tactical".
The 1095 carbon steel blade will have exceptional edge holding. It was hardened to Hrc 60, for a keen, long lasting edge. The blade features a tumbled finish and a raised clip. The action is super-smooth due, in part, to the 3/16" pivot with caged bearings rather than using conventional washers.
The knife is kept light and fast by using titanium liners. Carbon fiber scales meet with M3 metal composite bolsters in a dovetail for a perfect fit. The carbon fiber pocket clip is mounted for tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
