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 aggressive brother of the 'Skiagusta' and even more in a flipper configuration, rolling on ball bearings
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
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 stainless steel bronze caged ball bearings - a real pleasure to flip
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 - 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.
V1 Flipper features on short:
- Wolfram Special high carbon tool steel, 64 hrc, stonewashed finish
- 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
- stainless steel bronze caged ball bearings
- 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 - 285 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
