Brian Nadeau owner of Sharp By Design has done outstanding work with this Typhoon flipper. It was so outstanding that Brian took home Best Tactical Folder at the 2014 Blade Show with this model. This knife was acquired from the original owner. It is in absolutely MINT, NEW condition. It is serial number 011. Brian confirmed that the construction of this particular knife is exactly the same as the knife that he submitted to the judges at the Blade Show. However, this knife was made just a little earlier than the Blade Show knife. The Bowie-shaped blade is CPM S35VN with a dark acid and stonewashed finish. It flies open effortlessly due to Brian's stainless steel thrust bearing system and precision balanced blade. The bronzed handle is 6AL-4V titanium, and has a uniform 3D stippled textured surface, with some beautiful colors that can only been seen when you move the handle around in the light. It features a lock face that is a replaceable hardened steel plate, and screw-less pocket clip - the latter provides a clean look to the clip, and is set for deep pocket carry. It has a very secure, early lock-up - absolutely rock-solid with no blade play whatsoever. And the blade is perfectly centered when closed. Brian has demonstrated his outstanding fit and finish with this knife. The thumb ridges on the blade spine affords a comfortable and secure grip. Included with the knife is the hard plastic padded case, with a placard stating the model, material construction, and Best Tactical Folder 2014.
Condition: Previously owned. Mint, New. Never used, carried, or sharpened.
