Description: This Kosie Steenkamp custom flipper is a fantastic utility folder -- yet it would feel equally comfortable in most any collection. The drop point blade and ergonomic handle are perfectly designed for the task at hand. Kosie was inspired by and introduced to knife making by his brother, Willem Steenkamp. He began making knives in 2007 and was accepted as a member of the Knifemakers’ Guild of Southern Africa (KGSA) in May of 2009. Kosie is a stickler for detail and perfection, all these qualities and his obvious passion for this craft comes through in his work. The drop point blade is made from N690 stainless steel hardened to 59HRC with a brushed satin finish. N690 is a super-steel created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds on to it. Increased toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge.
The blade is perfectly centered with silky smooth action -- easily opened with one hand using the ambidextrous flipper toggle. The blade uses the IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) pivot system. This mechanism, which was originally designed to fit balisong knives, uses ball bearings to create exceptional action with no blade play.
The handle combines red lightning carbon fiber with black carbon fiber. Anodized titanium liners are jewel polished on the interior. A flipper tab provides easy, single handed opening. The textured and anodized titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-handed, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout! Certificate of Authenticity is included.
Like new. Some extremely minor scruff marks on the handle, but they're hard to capture and barely noticeable. Never re-sharpened. I did carry it in my pocket for a few days. I did use it to cut through one apple, cleaned it, and have not used it since.
Price: $525 shipped via USPS Priority (CONUS). I pay for insurance. I only accept Paypal. Not interested in trades- only selling because I need to pay for something else. Please feel free to email me at: brandontalley@hotmail.com
Thank you!
