Description: Riaan Manser is a full-time knife maker from South Africa. Manser works under the brand name 3LegDog -- named for his pit bull cross dog which lost its hind leg when still a puppy. Manser and his dog spent many days and nights sitting along side each other in the knifemaking studio. Regretfully, his beloved dog passed away during the summer of 2018.
This Model H4 Flipper features a blade formed from premium Bohler ELMAX stainless steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 61. ELMAX provides the extreme edge retention, high strength, and toughness a hard-use knife demands. High wear resistance in a steel usually means low corrosion resistance, but not with ELMAX. With this advanced steel, you get both properties, which makes it an excellent steel for high end folders. The hand satin finished blade features a flat grind with polished flats.
The blade runs on caged bearings. It is perfectly centered, has silky-smooth drop shut action, and is easily opened single-handed using the ambidextrous flipper tab. It drops shut with no resistance.
The handle is formed from black G10. Sections of tan G10 are meticulously inlaid into each side. Anodized Gr6 titanium liners keep this full sized knife light yet strong. The backspacer is formed from black G10. An anodized titanium pivot collar surrounds the matching custom pivot. The handle is completed with an anodized titanium pocket clip mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
Exceptional work throughout!
