Description: This Kosie Steenkamp custom Sakson I is a fantastic EDC utility folder -- yet it would feel equally comfortable in most any collection. The drop point blade and ergonomic handle are perfectly designed for any task at hand.
Kosie was 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 with a hand rubbed satin finish. N690 is a stainless steel 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 an easy to maintain edge. It is perfectly centered with smooth, consistent action -- easily opened with one hand using the right handed thumb stud.
The handle combines crosscut natural linen Micarta with carbon fiber bolsters. A crosscut natural linen Micarta pivot collar surrounds the custom pivot. Bronze anodized titanium liners surround a matching carbon fiber backbar. A bronze anodized titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-handed, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
