MacWasil Hamon Bowie Flipper - the following is Vaclav's description, hence the italics - this one was on his mailing list, did not get posted here. Unused/Uncarried/Unsharpened - as received from maker.
Knife got blade made of W5 tool steel, hamon quenched. Starting material was 30mm round bar, that was forged to flat bar.
Blade is operating very smooth and fast with caged bearings.
Handle and bead is made of Pertinax, that is old czechoslovak phenolic composite, similar micarta. This one was serving in old czechoslovak locomotive which was made in 1954.
Liners, backspacer and pocket clip are made of gr.5 titanium alloy. Liners are with satin finish and gold/bronze anodized. Pocket clip and backspacer are textured and heat coloured. I decide to make them textured and heat coloured because this way provides best protection against the visible scratches.
Stainless screws, pivot discs are patinated bronze.
blade is 3.8mm thick (0.149")
blade is 94mm long (3.7")
closed knife is 117mm long (4.60")
Includes fob, pertinax bead, and zip pouch. Knife is ridiculously sharp, and flips and locks like all Vaclav's knives do (I have 2 others).
BLADE IS NOT PERFECTLY CENTERED, but it flips great and lockup is good. Someone more skilled than me could probably fix the centering.
PRICE: $475 PayPal G+S All in - I paid $550 for this, so this is a bargain.
