Crusader Forge STREET FIGHTER Flipper, Custom Sculpted and Polished Titanium Frame-Lock, Chisel Ground Tanto (SOLD)

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.

Brand New and direct from Crusader Forge is Maciej's "Street Fighter" frame-lock flipper folder model.  The Street Fighters are hard to find.  Maciej typically only does a run of these once a year.  This Street Fighter features a full titanium frame, that has been hand-sculpted and polished on the presentation side - a very unique look for one of Maciej's knives - haven't seen another like it.  The blade steel is CPM S30V.  It is chisel ground, done with a Tanto grind - hair-popping sharp!  The whole knife - blade, frame and clip - are all done in Maciej's signature Phantom finish.  The flipper runs on bearings, and flips effortlessly and fast, locking with a clunk.  Even with such a big blade, you need little or no wrist action to deploy it.  If you flip it too hard during the break-in period, you might experience a bit of lock stick, which is not uncommon with Maciej's overbuilt, beefy blades.  The frame-lock holds the blade open rock solid - no movement whatsoever.  And the blade is well positioned in the handle when closed.  Maciej ships his knives with some oil still on them.  You may see some discoloration on the blades and / or frames - that's the oil, which can be wiped off - we've left it on in the pictures.  The knife comes in a Crusader Forge box, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Maciej.
