The L45 Flipper is a beautifully crafted knife that highlights the exceptional knifemaking abilities of Andre Thorburn. Its design is sleek and modern, with a handle that combines a carbon fiber bolster and black G-10 scales featuring a unique inverted texture. The knife is equipped with an anodized titanium liner lock frame, which not only adds strength but also showcases intricate file work. The smooth and flawless action is made possible by the IKBS ball-bearing pivot. The blade, made from hand satin finished Bohler N690 steel, can be effortlessly opened using the front flipper. Although this flipper differs from the traditional flipper/guard, it is incredibly user-friendly and adds to the knife's overall clean and sophisticated appearance.
