Wanting to learn how these things work, I have been playing with some "flippers". A visit and stay with Andre Thorburn helped very much in teaching me the fundamentals of fine tuning the action. Andre has fantastic understanding of the fine details.
Since I make these by hand, just like my other knives, these mainly serve as a learning exercise. It is fun to learn something new though, I do enjoy making them.
Coop did a wonderful job representing them in the photos.

Wolfe

A small flipper, 4 1/2" closed, 8" open.
RWL-34 blade
Titanium liners
Hand textured Zirconium bolsters
Timascus handle
Zirconium clip




Similar to the above knife, but with one piece, hand textured zirconium handle.





A larger knife:

5 1/8" closed, 9" open
RWL-34 Blade
Titanium Liners
Damasteel Bolsters
Lighting strike carbon fiber handles
Zirconium clip





A prototype for Patriot Bladewerx. This again a relatively large knife.

5 1/4" closed, 9 1/4" open
RWL-34 Blade
Titanium Liners
416 stainless bolsters
Vinage Westinghouse Micarta

Those are exquisite!!! Those are the epitome of useable art. I am so blown away!! I have LOVED and admired your work for many, many years!! I dream of some day owning some of your amazing work!!
 
Sorry to revive this old thread but I really needed to contact you somehow. Is this a legitimate Wolfe design knife? Someone on eBay is giving me a lot of ache for wanting to return it for being a fake. Thanks and sorry again for the necro post.

C Crimson Wolf The design is 100% Wolfe. the actual knife, as you know, is a copy made by a production team.

See my photo of his original Custom. Best I can tell you.

SharpByCoop SharpByCoop , thanks so much for your reply. I was mostly concerned because the weight of the blade was 5.235oz (as opposed to 6.4oz on different websites) and the blade scales don't match any of the available models online:

If anyone has any more information on this model, I'd greatly appreciate it.
