Description: This ultra-light folder is an exceptional EDC. The low care, high performing stainless damascus blade will take a sharp edge and hold onto it. Yellow G-10 scales ensure this knife is easy to locate. At just 1.6 oz, it will be easy to keep close at hand. This is a perfect hiking and backpacking folder when every oz matters.
Des Horn is one of the fathers of the South African knife industry. His influence can be clearly seen in other South African's work, but also extends into knives made around the world. Whether put to a daily carry folder or an art knife, his attention to detail and skill is legendary.
The blade is made from Swedish Damasteel which has been double tempered and cryogenically treated in liquid nitrogen. This style of treatment results in an incredibly long lasting edge, and high resistance to chipping.
The blade is well centered and has silky smooth action. It is easily opened using the front flipper mechanism. This style of flipper is not designed to be flicked open, but instead is rotated with the thumb.
Yellow G-10 scales provide a strong base. The anodized titanium side lock ensures a strong, reliable locking mechanism. Barrel spacers keep the knife strong and rigid, while being easy to clean. An elevated jimped thumb ramp provides for a secure thumb purchase.
Excellent work throughout!
