Prototype: The Lucane by Torpen

[Nemo]

This is a prototype made by a young French knifemaker named Jerome Hovaere a.k.a. Torpen who lived in the far western end of Britanny.
Mine is mounted with a 02 tool steel blade and G10 handles.
Torpen had received his licence to use the Spyderhole last fall and I'm really found of the way he used it !

I will carry the Lucane with me at the Amsterdam Minimeet as I'm commitionned by Jérome to picture Sal with his baby.

Very nice. I would like to see this with a nice big blade, between 3.5 and 4"!

Or even 5 inches ! Funny I have asked him a "folding camp knife" also !
This one is an hair under 3.5". Almost like the C122 Tenacious actually.

Not my kind of knife, but I like how thin the scales look.

The blade shape is really nice and it looks really thin. I would EDC this for sure.

That's a cool looking knife, I would like it to be at least 3.5".
