Hi again folks, back with another from my favorite new maker, Keone Omega at Timberghost Customs in WA.
This time, Keone let me know that he had a new frikky model, and when I saw it, I had to try one (I collect friction folders).
This is the Havoc, with my custom theme. It's a wide (leaf?) blade frikky with a full flat grind. Mine is in 3V with G10 handles.
As you can see, it has a leaf or vine theme. I wanted something different and suggested "organic" to Keone. This is what he turned out, and I couldn't be happier.
The knife itself is scary sharp, with a beautiful hair popping grind. It has a nice weight and as you can see, it fills my rather large hands nicely.
I would definitely call it a slicer, although elsewhere it was suggested it might double as a camp spatula!
. I think I'll try that out next time I'm in the bush.
The craftsmanship is stellar, with no gaps, no uneven spacing, and a nice light flipping action that looks easily into place.
The back spacer is also etched 3V. The handles are OD G10 with natural G10 liners. The vine carving continues the organic theme.
Once again, Keone was really easy to work with. I was happy to give him creative control, and as before, he did not disappoint. Here's a shot of my other Timberghost, a 3V Talon, for comparison.
I suggest you check out his Facebook page or look up Timberghost customs online. Thanks for checking this out!
