Description: This Willem Steenkamp custom Barlow slip joint is a fantastic utility folder. The spearpoint blade and ergonomic handle are perfectly designed and implemented.
Willem was accepted as a member of the Knifemakers’ Guild of Southern Africa (KGSA) in May of 2007. His attention to detail is clearly evident in his knives. His fit and finish rivals that of the best makers found anywhere.
The 2-3/4 inch blade is made from CPM154 stainless steel. This powdered metallurgical steel has a particularly small grain structure, making it take an extremely keen edge and hold it while remaining tough and chip resistant. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge. It is well centered with a firm half stop -- easily opened with the right handed thumb nick.
Handle scales are made from amber jigged bone. They are perfectly fit to satin finished 303 stainless steel bolsters.
Exceptional work throughout!
