This is a slipjoint folder,from legendary knifemaker Dan Burke,who specializes in high end slipjoint folders,but certainly has a wide range of knifebuilding talent. A very rare knife,wait time would be in the half decade range.This is available,right now & it's an EDC style!
It is hafted in genuine antique Westinghouse Ivory paper micarta.The look of elephant ivory with figure,but the EDC durability of paper micarta.
The steel is a new steel from Sandvik,of Sweden.They specialize in cutlery steel.This new steel,14C28N,is a combo of their 13C26 razor blade steel & their common 12C27 ss. The end result,a ss that'll take a razor edge like some of the carbon steel you all know to get that "toothy" edge.
This knife has a hollow ground blade,and has a hand rubbed finish. A really nice swedge,with a style all it's own.Bronze washers in the pivot,it has a med pull & reeks smooth!Blade lays low in the frame when closed up,this knife is slim & slender & carries real nice.It's light & feels great in hand
The cutting edge is razor blade slicer sharp,wicked!
Dimensions :
7.5" OAL open
4-1/8" closed
3-3/8" blade,tip to scale
3-1/8" cutting edge
3/32" blade stock thickness
This knife was carried & lightly used by me,it's only owner.It has a tiny bit of blade play,just about un detectable & the blade lays off center closed maybe .002",a very slight imperfection.
The pricing on this reflects those disclosed details.
You can see & feel the 30 yrs experience of Dan, in this knife.
A very classy knife,for EDC ,made by one of the top slipjoint folders in the World,at a great deal right here!
