Kevin Wilkins Leafstorm

Sebenza is a great folder. Based on what I've handled, the fit, finish and action are better on the Wilkins (which is expected). The Leafstorm is much smaller though so a direct comparison is not very realistic. In general, what I prefer about good quality custom framelocks over the Sebenza is the reduced weigth and the smoother action. The Sebbie is hard to beat for the price, that's sure (except the Buck Mayo TNT, of course ).

Awesome knife flava! I can't wait to get one some day.The highest end folder I own is a small Sebenza. As I've never held a Mayo, how does the Leafstorm compare to a Sebbie? Thanks.

Thanks Flava, Nathan and everyone else! Much obliged for the kind words.

I'm working on a several Lightweight Leafstorms now. There's more pics and infos about the knife on my website under: http://www.wilkins-knives.com/folderpages_all/leafstorm/leafstorm_e.html

Kevin, I CAN NOT wait until I CAN get one of your amazing knives! I have my eye on a Ghost Dog Pup first. You make amazing knives.

As far as I'm concerned, the sooner the better!

Forgot to mention earlier... I'd love to see a production version of the Leafstorm. I have complete CAD production drawings and If a company could handle the blades and the finances, I can supply all other parts in any quantity, right down to the screws. Depending on the run, I might be able to handle assembly and fit up too... oh, that would be cool....
