Description: South African knifemaker Anton van der Westhuizen is from Port Elizabeth. He is an active member of the Knifemakers Guild of Southern Africa. Lately he has been creating high end, elegant folding knives using only the best modern materials available. Some years ago, we were excited when he asked if we could feature some of his work at BladeGallery while we were visiting at the annual Knifemakers' Guild of Southern Africa Show, and his work has continued to develop and grow since then.
The modified sheepsfoot blade is Thor pattern damascus forged by Damasteel in Sweden. This high performing stainless damascus steel is created using powder metallurgical manufacturing to provide excellent edge retention and unmatched beauty. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge.
The hand ground blade is perfectly centered and has silky-smooth, drop-shut action thanks to the ceramic IKBS bearing system. The blade can easily be deployed using the ambidextrous flipper tab. Disengage the lock and the blade drops shut effortlessly.
The 6Al-4V titanium handle features an aqua finish. The sturdy framelock provides a strong lockup. The pivot collar, backspacer, inlays, and pocket clip are matching heat colored Black Timascus zirconium/titanium damascus. The pocket clip is mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
