I’ve only carried this a few times. Flips smooth as butter and the edge is phenomenally sharp. Pretty cool knife, just not getting a lot of pocket time.
Still in near mint condition. I can’t for the life of me find the box but I will ship it in a zippered taco pouch.
SOLD TO KNIFEYE
“Darriel Caston drew inspiration from ancient mythology and the cutting-edge realm of space exploration when creating the Mbombo knife. The name "Mbombo" pays homage to a Kuba god associated with creation, a nod to the ancient mythological roots of the design.
This exceptional knife takes its cues from a custom knife that Caston was commissioned to create for a SpaceX mission crew. The result is a truly unique and versatile EDC tool suitable for a wide range of environments, from urban landscapes to the vast expanse of outer space.
The Mbombo features a modified tanto blade made from Damascus steel, known for its exceptional strength and striking patterned appearance. The IKBS pivot allows it to smoothly deploy, resembling the propulsion of a rocket, adding a touch of space-inspired aesthetics to its functionality.
Complementing the rocket-like blade is a sleek and lightweight titanium handle. This handle is not only visually appealing but also ergonomically designed for easy handling. Its slim profile ensures that the knife can be comfortably carried in a pocket, ready for any situation that may arise.
The Mbombo is a fusion of ancient myth, modern space exploration, and expert craftsmanship. Its distinctive design, coupled with its versatile capabilities, makes it a practical and stylish choice for everyday use, whether you're navigating the urban jungle or venturing into the depths of outer space.
This limited edition Mbombo is limited to 500 units worldwide. “
