This is the first integral version of Flavio ikoma's best selling knife, the Executivo, and it has 1/8"thick titanium liners with a double finish (orange peel on the pivot area and bead blasted on the other part) and a 440C satin finished blade.
This one was sold pratically before it ever existed to a repeat buyer and forum member, and along with a Damascus folding dagger - that was also sold but was exhibited at a dealer's table during the show - these were the only pieces Flavio took to the show - and that explains why he could be seen most of the time walking around, taking pictures or choosing supplies to bring back home and, as picky as he is, he probably should have inspected every titanium bar and kydex sheet in the show to be sure it was the best of the pile...
Let me know what you think about this little gem, guys!

Also, I'll be posting a picture of the Damascus folding dagger in the Auto forum and I strongly recommend you to take a look at it.

That's a beautiful folder. I'll keep an eye for pics of his work.

Oh yeah, what do you mean when you say, "first integral..." Seems "integral" is used in several context when talking about knives.

Hello, Sing

By integral we use to call - when talking about folders - pieces built like a Reeve Sebenza, with thick liners and no scales.
Regarding pics of Flavio's work, I try to post everything he makes.
I can forward you that we will be seen a new model coming from him in a couple months, by the way.

Wich one of yours, Markus?

It is a well worthy wait, anyway.
By the way, Flavio is about to release the Harpia, his new liner lock.
He doesn't like to do this but I managed to talk him into sending me a line drawing of it.
All I can tell you for the moment is that if you like agressive folders you will love this one!

Ivan, you have to stop with these great looking knives. You know that I don't have any money right know.

Actually, keep on posting pictures of all these knives. Even if I can't buy one right now I still love to see them.
