Brand New and direct from Crusader Forge is this FIFP METRO, Fear Is For Prey frame-lock folder. Crusader Forge Custom Knives are designed for extreme and hard use. All Crusader Forge knives are 100% custom handcrafted by master bladesmith and designer, Maciej Szczerbiak. They are 100% made in U.S.A. from domestic steel and materials. His blade material is Triple Tempered CPM S30V Stainless Steel with an HRC of 59-60. Each Crusader Forge knife handle is custom fabricated. They are custom textured to ensure positive hold, regardless of your grip configuration. The handles are fastened to the knife using Stainless Steel Fasteners with Torx ™ T25 drive for maximum strength. Each knife design is prototyped and function tested against various materials such as wood, rope, muscle, bone, sheet metal and anything else Maciej may have left in the shop that has reached the end of its useful life. Edge holding characteristics, transverse toughness and cutting ability are all evaluated prior to finalizing a knife design. The handle of this FIFP Metro features a hand sculpted Mil-Spec Coyote Brown G10 scale, and a 6A14V Titanium lock side. The blade is CPM S30V, done with a Dammeron Camo finish. We love the Dammeron Camo - the tree branch pattern is mesmerizing. If you are into big folders, this is the one for you - but, IMHO, not too big for pocket carry. It opens smoothly with one hand, and locks open with a resounding click. The titanium frame-lock holds the blade rock solid. The blade is razor sharp, and centered in the handle when closed. The knife comes in a Crusader Forge box, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Maciej. Windy City Knives is a proud member of the Crusader Forge authorized dealer network.
