John Richter made folder. If I remember correctly it is an ATS34 blade, full titanium scales, and liner and clip. The screws on the pocket have been modified cause the torx head on them stripped out so 2 of them were slotted. Doesn't look that great but work as they should. Blade is around 3.75" with 3.4" being cutting edge. I made the choil so it would sharpen up better and it does! BUT with the choil made like this the blade wants to rest on the back spacer which is made of g10. Doesn't rest against the stop pin, it doesn't really affect much other than resting on the bottom of the spacer.
Lock up is SUPERB and the build quality of the knife is beyond reproach. Every thing on the knife screams quality especially the precision fitment of the blade to the pivot and stop bar. All are press fit very tightly but still allows for very smooth action and tight lock up. I have used this probably more than any folder I have owned save for a CS Ultimate Hunter. This knife has beauty marks, sanded by me primary flats, it is a CHISEL grind right side. It is also razor sharp courtesy of me. I want to say I bought this knife near the turn of the century maybe a bit later but not by much. Still has a ton of life left in it. Never have seen another Richter folder either. For the price I don't think you will do much better for a knife of this build quality. Like I said it has been used alot over the years and not babied and I have modified it some. Still locks up tight, safe, and strong and you won't be afraid to use it. thanks
