This large button-lock flipper is his Twist Tighe model.  The California dagger-shaped blade (top edge is not sharpened) is RWL-34 stainless with beautifully executed fluting.  When deployed the blade has an "integral" guard.  The handle is expertly carved bronze lightning strike carbon fiber.  The hardware, pocket clip and button are all satin finished stainless.  Brian signed blade.  We're not certain whether this one runs on STBS bearings or washers, but either way the blade flips out effortlessly, locks up tight, and the blade seating is centered.  Comes in a Brian Tighe padded, zippered case.
