New from bladeshow 2023 /
This is the nicest frontflipper I’ve ever owned and I shouldn’t sell it but I never keep anything more than a few weeks so here we are /
this one is pure fire whoever gets it is gonna be ecstatic
Details:
Blade length: 3.20 in.
Cutting edge length: 3.00 in.
Total length: 7.60 in.
Blade height (at heel): 0.85 in.
Blade thickness (near bolster): 0.12 in.
Blade thickness (at midpoint): 0.11 in.
Blade thickness (near tip): 0.02 in.
Item weight: 4.60 oz.
Shipment weight: 6 oz.
Blade: RWL-34 stainless steel with a bead blasted finish
Handle: Bead blasted titanium
Sheath: Zipper pouch
Style: Framelock front flipper with ball bearing pivot
Description: Stephane Espi is a knifemaker from the South of France who has been making custom knives since 2009. He specializes in modern style framelock folders with excellent fit and finish and impeccable action. It is rare to see his work in the United States .Espi's knives are hand made in France without the use of CNC.
This Scylla Front Flipper is a prime example of Stephane's clean work. The minimalistic design coupled with some of the best action you will ever feel makes for a great daily carry knife.
The blade is hand ground RWL-34 stainless steel with a bead blast finish. RWL-34 is a premium powder metallurgy cutlery steel manufactured by Damasteel in Söderfors, Sweden. Because it is manufactured from rapidly solidified powders, the microstructure of the steel is much more uniform. This gives the steel much higher strength and durability while maintaining very high wear resistance.
The blade is perfectly centered and opens on a ball bearing pivot. This knife has silky-smooth, drop shut action. The frame lock locks up firmly on every deploy.
Handle scales are machined and bead blasted titanium set on an heirloom fit titanium backbar. The handle feels great in your hand. The knife is easy to keep close at hand with the ZirCuTi (titanium/zirconium damascus) pocket clip mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
Asking price is 200 under table OBO at (750 zelle only please) /conus only
Thanks
