This original BtB-f or Bill the Butcher - folder, makes an appearance as a modern savage. Clean and technical with a primitive-looking sculpted blade and two-tone satin acid-washed finish.
This Titanium frame lock is built using .187" thick 6al4V Ti with a hand-contoured CC'd profile with a touch of decorative milling for good measure. The clip was also hand fabricated from the same material and given the same rounded profile for comfortable carry. A satin wire wheel orange peel texture on all the Ti gives it a classy appearance, but one that will wear extremely well over time.
You'll notice that the pivot collars were not only added for decorative purposes but on the lock side function as both an overtravel stop and lock bar stabilizer.
Obviously, the most noticeable element of this build is the Blade, which is hand-ground and sculpted from CPM154 prior to being acid etched, then tumbled. Akin to the chipped flint or obsidian blades the ancients fabricated, this technique brings that vibe into the 21st century! A perfect match-up with the Butcher vibe.
Heat treating was handled by Bos in Post Falls, Idaho. The blade rides on phosphor bronze washers with a ceramic detent, carbidized lock face, locking up firmly at 30% on face. Super smooth and flickable with a clean and easy release.
