MK2 by Clyde Challenor

[myemptymind]

I just received this today. MK2 with RWL34 hand rubbed blade, bronzed anodized ti liners with matching milled ti pocket clip. Beautiful carbon fibre scales. This is really a gorgeous knife. This is a front flipper. First Ive ever had, takes a bit of getting used to but I like it a lot.

Congrats on the fine knife.

Just one correction on the "front flipper term". This is not a front flipper but a lip opener method developed by Fanie La Grange in the early 1990's here in South Africa.

Fanie's knives were not flippers, they were conventional liner locks which used the lip to replace the opening stud. This became popular here in SA and the front flipper developed from that by Andre Thorburn. The front flipper is "in front of the bolster and pivot" IMO and the first model I ever saw of it was in 2011 KGSA show by Andre Thorburn.

Beautiful! I love Clyde's work.
He is great to deal with too. I've got an MK2 on order with him for around a Jan '16 build.
Next year can't come soon enough...

Congrats!
