Description: Brian Tighe produces unique, functional and visually appealing knives of the highest quality. His blades are the product of 25 years of experience in metallurgy artistry and tactical expertise. His sculpted Tighe Breaker Integral model has some incredible details that demand your attention.
The blade is RWL-34 stainless steel with a hand rubbed satin finish. RWL-34 is a premium powder metallurgy cutlery steel manufactured by ERASTEEL in Söderfors, Sweden. Because it is made from rapidly solidified powders, the microstructure of the steel is much more uniform. This gives the steel much higher strength and resistance to cracks and chips.
The raised clip blade is perfectly centered and the action is incredibly smooth. It can be deployed easily using the ambidextrous flipper or the dual thumbstuds. A button lock makes closing the blade with one hand a breeze!
The ergonomic bronze snakeskin carbon fiber handle is fluted, providing a beautiful, yet incredibly comfortable grip. Most makers would have created two slabs of carbon fiber and set a spacer material in between. This integral handle is machined from one solid piece of bronze snakeskin carbon fiber, showing Brian's tremendous skill as a machinist. This construction keeps the knife incredibly light, making it weigh in at a mere 5 ounces! A zirconium pivot collar surrounds the custom pivot. Zirconium is a transitional metal that is primarily mined in South Africa and Australia. It is resistant to corrosion and scuffing. The knife is finished with a matching fluted zirconium deep carry pocket clip, mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
