Hello dear friends,

With God's good will today i present you a novelty in our portfolio - a full size, titanium frame lock folder - 'Ditlihi' - the Thug - the aggressive brother of the 'Skiagusta'.

Built around a titanium 'core' this folder is a gorgeous cutter.

An aluminium/vanadium alloy, Grade 5 TA6V titanium offers an excellent compromise between mechanical strength, toughness and ductility hence it was the choice for the frame of the folder.
The detent ball is high quality ceramic for an ever lasting smooth action without deformations.
Very nice 'click' sounds - might not be of interest but i am a 'click snob' into folders :D

All screws are precision machined black oxide steel, the stop and pivot pins are hardened, precision ground 400c stainless steel so no wear in there even after prolonged years of use.
The blade slides on bronze washers with 'grease pockets'.

The blade is made using the high carbon, ultra clean and ultra hard Wolfram Special carbon steel at 64 hrc (beware it is not rustproof but you know me - i am the carbon steel guy :D - might offer stainless alternatives in the future but not sure yet), with a high flat grind and stonewashed finish. The blade comes razor sharp.
The blade is nicely centered and the knife is a tight and tough user.

Thug features on short:

- Wolfram Special high carbon tool steel, 64 hrc, stonewashed finish with special 'Thug' grind.
- Grade 5 TA6V titanium - 'ghetto' stonewashed finish (the scales were left with their production marks but stonewashed for a smoother look) - a vagabond that hides something ;)
- bronze washers with 'grease pockets'
- screws are precision machined black oxide steel, the stop and pivot pins are hardened, precision ground 400c stainless steel

OAL - 7.87", Blade - 3.55"

The price for this V1 Flipper is - 295 usd (please add 10 usd for shipping); a Ti pocket clip (tip up carry) can be added for 20 usd.

All the best, God bless,
Bogdan

Hello dear brothers,

As stated above i am open to offers and i really mean it - i am not cheap nor unpleasant to deal with so if you like the Thug don't hesitate to PM me and most likely we'll have a deal ;)

It's a pity to stay in a drawer then to make one happy for some bucks - i hate selling things and if i would be wealthy enough it is my dream that i could sell knives only at the cost of materials - the work is the way i relax and keeps me sane :D - who knows, maybe one day...

All the best friends, God bless,
Bogdan
 
BogdanS BogdanS how thick are the slabs and the blade and do you have a pic of a similar knife showing the optional clip installed? Thanks!
 
Thank you very much my dear friends for your so kind appreciation - the feelings are the same from my side about you!

fishface5 fishface5 - thanks for asking my dear friend! Both the scales and the blade are app 1/8". In the pic below is a clip example ;)

All and only the best, God bless,
Bogdan
