Introducing the Fossil, a knife that combines timeless design with modern functionality. Designed by Flavio Ikoma, this EDC folder is a true work of art. With its hammered two-tone handle and IKBS ball bearing pivot system, the Fossil is not only visually stunning but also incredibly durable.
The Fossil features a unique prehistoric look that is sure to turn heads. Its drop point blade style ensures that it can handle any cutting task with ease. The blade deployment is smooth and fast, thanks to the IKBS ball bearing pivot system and opening flipper. Additionally, there is a thumb hole cutout in the blade for an alternative method of opening.
Not only is the Fossil powerful on the inside, but it is also beautiful on the outside. The stainless steel handles have a hammered finish, giving them a distinctive look. The contoured multi-colored G10 handle overlays add a touch of style, resembling the scales of a gator. The blade is secured in the open position by a frame lock, ensuring safety during use.
If you're looking for a well-crafted everyday carry knife, the Fossil is the next evolution. Its impressive specifications include a 3.96" blade length, 8Cr13MoV steel, and a satin finish. With a closed length of 4.95" and an open length of 8.88", it is the perfect size for everyday use. The Fossil weighs 6.1 oz, making it lightweight and easy to carry.
Experience the power and style of the Fossil - a knife that will make all your other knives seem obsolete.
