Ikoma's Cerbero #06

[Mauro Machado]

I would like to show you the sixth Cerbero folder made by Flavio Ikoma, from Brazil.
This integral folder presents a 440C double tempered and sub-zero quenched blade measuring 3 3/4". The handle is anodized titanium 6AL/4V with two distinct texture; orange peel and bead blasted. The total length is 8 1/2". The texture gives an appearance of slabs but I want to confirm that there's no slabs.
Any comment will be appreciated.

A VERY handsome knife.

The only possible change I could envision is to put the relieved areas of the framelock on the inside instead of the outside; they are deep enough that they slightly detract from the otherwise smooth appearance.

And I'd like to see this with a wharncliffe blade!

Very nice design

Summerland,

I showed your comments to Ikoma and he sent me the following reply:

"Thank you for your comments, I put the relieved areas of the framelock outside because I like the light effect it has, but it is just a matter of taste and I really respect your point of view.
I also like wharncliffe blades and I am working on a new folder similar to the Cerbero with this blade shape.
Here is the sketch of this new folder with the wharncliffe blade. Hope you like it.
Ikoma"
