Description: South African knifemaker Andre van Heerden creates an amazing folder, though most of his knives we see these days are A2 – a collaboration between Andre Thorburn and Andre van Heerden. This exceptional folder was made by van Heerden in the spring of 2010. It has been in a private collection and has been meticulously cared for. By all appearances, van Heerden could have made it yesterday. This is an exceptionally rare find!
The 12C27 stainless steel blade features a hand rubbed satin finish on the grinds with polished flats. This accentuates the unique, crisp grind lines. The blade was hand ground. It is easily opened with a simple flick of the wrist or with the thumb stud. The blade is perfectly centered and has silky smooth action.
Reconstituted stone is inlaid into black G10 scales. 3D texturing of both the stone and G10 provides a sure, comfortable grip. Anodized titanium liners and a titanium backbar keep the knife light and fast.
This is a perfect size for a daily carry folder! The blade is long enough to get any task done, yet at just 2 oz, this folder disappears into your pocket until it is needed.
Excellent fit and finish throughout!
