Description: JD van Deventer creates unique knives of the highest degree of craftsmanship and performance. He took up knifemaking in 2005 and became a member of the Knifemaker’s Guild of Southern Africa by 2007. He works in a one man shop and even builds most of his machines himself! He is clearly a maker to keep an eye on!
Newly designed by Jared Van Otterloo (JVO) and fresh off the workbench from JD, is the new Silver Front Flipper. This sleek knife is thin, lightweight, and easy to deploy and use. At only 3 oz. this knife will disappear into your pocket until you are ready to use it.
The blade is formed from 12C27 stainless steel, created by Sandvik in Sweden. This steel takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds onto it. It also maintains high toughness, high chip resistance, and good corrosion resistance -- it is a well rounded choice for a high performing cutlery steel. A hand rubbed satin finish adds to the heirloom appearance.
The blade is perfectly centered with silky smooth, drop shut action -- easily opened with one hand using the discreet and ambidextrous front flipper toggle. It runs on an IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) pivot. This mechanism, which was originally designed to fit balisong knives, uses ball bearings to create exceptional action with no blade play. The inobtrusive front flipper tab is easy to use and won't get caught on things in the pocket.
The handle is formed from carbon fiber with copper wire carbon fiber inlays. Bronze anodized titanium liners surround a carbon fiber backbar. A terraced pivot collar made from zirconium surrounds the anodized titanium pivot. The blackened and anodized titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
Excellent work throughout!
