Not to mention the fact that we love how he names each model he creates! This large button-lock flipper is his Twist Tighe model. The dagger-shaped blade (top clip is not sharpened) is BG 42 stainless with a beautifully hand-rubbed, very fine finish, that almost looks polished. The handle is expertly carved and highly polished titanium, with insets that are textured and anodized. The edges of the titanium handle slabs are also carved along the entire perimeter of the knife. Those anodized sections have beautiful blues and purples that really pop in sunlight. The blue textured and anodized clip is super cool, and really highlights the knife. 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 excellent. Condition: Previously owned, Mint condition. Never used, carried or sharpened.
