Let me present you the "Dauphin". It's made by Oufti, a buddy of mine from Belgium. Titanium handle, niolox steel blade, don't know the american equivalent, it's a stainles steel with niobium, and performs fine. The blade is exactly 2".
I like this little knife quite a lot, it's very well made. The blade is nicely centered and everything solid and smooth, despite the fact that the pivot and the blade stop are the only things keeping it in place.
Here are a few pics, played a little with the last one :p

Your friend Oufti is not only a master craftsman, he's an artist. It's a pleasure to see a clean, functional knife with such creative appeal.
 
As I just said on another thread, I love it when I see a new knife design
and get hit by that "WOW" feeling. To get hit twice in 5 minutes is even
a more exciting...

All the best,

Cute, nice and functional little folder! :D :thumbup:


Regarding the steel, it`s said to be really tough and holds a great edge! :thumbup:


BTW It`s one of Jürgen Schanz`s (he`s a member here and you find some of his stunning work in these forums) favorite steel, he named it SB1 ! ;)
