Description: South African knifemaker Hennie Du Plessis creates an exceptional folder. The blade is perfectly centered and has silky-smooth action. When combined with the IKBS ball bearing system, the action is exceptional! The Ikoma Korth Bearing System (IKBS) was originally designed to fit balisong knives and uses ball bearings to create exceptional action with no blade play.
The blade is hand ground Gysinge pattern stainless damascus forged by Damasteel in Sweden. The high contrast, high performance steel immediately grabs attention. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge.
Handle scales are marble carbon fiber, set on anodized titanium liners. Jimping on the thumb rest provides a comfortable, secure grip. Heat colored Timascus bolsters meet perfectly with the handle scales. The external pivot is textured and heat colored. Textured and anodized titanium liners surround the Timascus backspacer. The Timascus pocket clip is mounted for right-side, tip up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
