Description: Jason Clark is a part time, sole authorship knifemaker from O'Brien, Florida. He has been employed full time as a Florida Law Enforcement Officer since 1997 and knows what it takes to make a high functioning knife that is meant to be used. He even offers lifetime free sharpening for any knife he has made!
The blade is perfectly centered with silky smooth, drop shut action -- easily opened with one hand using the ambidextrous flipper toggle. It uses the IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) pivot system. This mechanism, which was originally designed to fit balisong knives, uses ball bearings to create exceptional action with no blade play.
The 3 inch drop point blade is Nitro V stainless steel. Nitro-V is a martensitic stainless steel with a chromium-based composition created by the New Jersey Steel Baron company. Nitrogen and vanadium have been added to the composition of AEB-L to improve edge performance. The resulting blade has an extremely keen, long-lasting edge and is just as tough or tougher than similar carbon steels while being completely stainless. A deep hollow grind gives this knife excellent slicing capabilities. A stonewash finish in the grinds will help hide any additional scratches you may add from use.
Maple toned Richlite scales are set on bead blasted titanium liners keeping the knife light and fast. The scales are nicely dovetailed to black Richlite bolsters. A red fiber liner adds a touch of contrast at the transition point. The liners surround a free floating satin finished titanium backbar. The inside of the backbar is engraved with the IKBS logo and Nitro V / 62 RC. The deep carry titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
A leather pocket pouch made by Jason's wife is included to keep the knife protected during storage or carry.
Excellent work throughout!
