Mad for Micarta Picture Thread
- Thread starter ChazzyP
- Start date
The maker is Dirk de Wit from the Netherlands. Only makes a couple per year and has a waiting list for several years. M390 (hardened at a place which also hardens aircraft parts)/vintage German micarta/titanium spring (with an hardened steel insert) and frame. Supersharp and slicy @ 0.35mm at the edge. BL is around 3.5”. Didn’t measure the overall length yet.
Everything is hand made, doesn’t use CNC or watercutting. Just a belt sander, lathe and an old Deckel without any computer)
He did have a knife made by Lionsteel (Grailer I but it has been sold out for a while)
Very good looking! It oozes quality for sure!! Thanks for the info! Appreciate it..

Time for some vintage German micarta
That's a very nice knife! Can you tell us more about the backspring construction? It looks like there are two parts to it.

Very nice! Can you give us more details about the backspring? It appears to be two piece.

Biggest part is titanium, rest is hardened RWL-34. Made without a CNC
So the RWL-34 part it where the blade tang contacts the backspring, to increase wear resistance and reduce galling?
