Flip Knives
Safe light and extremely strong construction
These are extremely safe, light and strong folding flip knives because they open on a plane angled at 90 degrees to the plane of use when cutting.
Therefore most stress is directly on the handle - and not on the locking mechanism.
Weights :
Flip knife with a carbon fiber handle weighs in at only 77 gram ( 2.7 oz ) . With a Zytel handle - 80 gram ( 2.8 oz ).
Blade :
Drop point Blade - 3 inch high carbon C70 sheffield steel hardened to Rockwell 58, hollow ground and hand honed to a razor-sharp edge.
History has proved the quality of this steel.
Bolsters :
Hardened stainless steel - absolutely solid.
Locking leg :
Hardened 420 stainless steel, mirror finished and engraved with the Imagical Design logo, the Patent information and the date of manufacture.
Handles :
Choice of extremely light and high impact resistant Carbon Fibre Composite ( Black ) or Zytel ( Black or Lapis Blue ).
Main Pivot :
Massive 1/6 inch (4 mm) diameter hardened stainless steel pivot, one end fits into handle to prevent it turning, the other end is secured by an
Allen screw so that the tension can be adjusted and for disassembly.
Pivot Bearing :
Solid hardened stainless steel fits to a very high tolerance around pivot and eliminates blade wobble.
Rivets :
Specially produced flat headed brass rivets guarantee perfect assembling of the components, after which the heads are polished and contrast beautifully against the polished bolsters and coloured handles.
Safety catch :
In the forward position it prevents the locking leg accidentally being disengaged and must be slid back in order to change the position of the blade. The safety slide can be removed.
