The first Caffrey "Tactical" folder

Ed Caffrey · Mar 9, 2001

Here is the first, of what I hope will be many. I was shooting for clean, simple, and useful. 3 1/4" blade of differentially heat treated 52100, stippled,anodized Ti (purple) liners, and black G-10 slabs. Many thanks are due Kit Carson for his help in learning the realm of folders!

Very nice, sir. Have you an idea how 52100 will hold up in a folding knife with regards to rust?

Bo · Mar 9, 2001

Looks like a heck of a user to me. If you need someone to try it out let me know.

Boy Ed you did good. It does have very nice lines. Looks like it would fit in my hand good. Got that ( my hand ). Yes I know everybody beat me to it. Really I do like the knife. Show us the next one you get ready. You sure got off to a good start with this one.

Never thought i'd ever see a folder with a differentially hardened blade. Nice, clean design and the palm swell on the handle looks very comfortable. What about some Titanium bolsters?
