Description: Des Horn is one of the fathers of the South African knife industry. His influence can be clearly seen in other South African's work, but also extends into knives made around the world. Whether put to a daily carry folder or an art knife, his attention to detail and skill is legendary.
The hand ground blade on this Barrel Model Front Flipper is stainless damascus forged by Damasteel. A cryogenic liquid nitrogen sub-zero quench and double tempering ensures a keen, long lasting edge.
The blade is perfectly centered and has smooth action. It is easily opened using the front flipper mechanism. This style of flipper is designed to be flicked out with the thumb. The lock bar is anodized grade V titanium with a silicon nitride detent ball (Hrc 93!)
Prism machined titanium scales are differentially anodized and provide a comfortable grip. The scales are set on fileworked and anodized titanium liners. The liners surround an anodized titanium backspacer.
To keep the knife close at hand, a black leather pocket pouch is included.
Excellent work throughout!
