Description: Dale Miller's attention to detail shines through this elegant, slim profile gent's folder. The slip joint design, premium CPM154 stainless steel blade, and alternative ivory scales make this a tremendous old school folder with modern performance. The Back Pocket design was originally developed by Tony Bose. He built it to be a perfect size to carry in your back pocket, set next to your wallet.
The 3.8 inch blade is formed from premium CPM154 stainless steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 61. This powdered metallurgical steel has a particularly small grain structure, making it take an extremely keen edge and hold it! The blade has nice action and pivots on aluminum bronze bushings. The high performing blade is thin for precise cuts. This also results in a folder that virtually disappears in your pocket.
Gently rounded handle scales are formed from Resin-Ivory set on 410 stainless steel liners (Hrc 40). Resin-Ivory is very difficult to distinguish from real ivory except that it fluoresces purple under a black light. It is a spun polyester with resin reinforcing agents. It even has Shreger lines on the end grain and quarter sawn ivory grain showing on the face. Front and rear stainless steel bolsters protect the Resin-Ivory from impact if the knife is dropped. The backspring is formed from CPM154, heat treated to 48 Hrc.
Excellent work throughout.
