A few ‘species’ not often found in the wild....
A magnificent Carothers Integral Dagger, a splendid Carothers Coffee Cup, and an exceptionally fine Frame-lock Folder from Mark Scrimgeour, Employee Extraordinare at Carothers Performance Knives aka Fine Custom Cutlery.
Here’s what Mark had to say about it:
‘Here are the specs:
.205 knifemaker grade 6al4v titanium lock and frame, .205 delta 3v blade (61rc) Handground with a 10” and 8” wheel, D2 lock insert & integrated stabilizer (58rc) with angle to match blade lock, AKS bearing system and Pivot ( 42rc), ti pocket clip, g10 backspacer with AKS 410ss barrel pins.’
It’s a VERY robust folder, great ergonomics, 4” blade, perfect detent for very positive opening/closing, integrated lock-face/over-travel stop, and vault-like lock-up....what’s not to like?!!
Using Nate’s specific heat-treat and‘techniques’ in blade making, this is a folder that will last several lifetimes.
