Description: This captivating folder is the work of South African bladesmith Bertie Rietveld. The blade is a five bar Turkish twist that has been hot blued. This bluing technique produces a stronger coloring than nitre bluing and does not affect the heat treatment.
Mammoth ivory scales are set on titanium scales. They meet with hot blued dragonskin pattern damascus in an elegant arch. This folder uses a unique locking mechanism called a "Bertie lock", whereby the base of the bolsters is gently pushed upward with the thumb, releasing the locked blade. The titanium pivot is inset with a Stanhope lens. This hallmark of Bertie's work reveals his logo when spied through. Exceptional work throughout! Accompanied by certificate from the maker.
