Quartermaster
Introducing the QSE-9 Mr. Strickland folder from Quartermaster Knives. This knife combines elements from the past and the future to create a truly unique and functional design. The angular style of the knife is not only visually appealing but also highly practical when held in hand. The blade is a compound ground tanto, inspired by Gustavo Cecchini's custom Airborne knife, and it boasts a smooth and fluid action thanks to the ORB pivot assembly. The handle is made of 0.17" thick titanium, providing both durability and comfort. It features an ambidextrous reversible tip-up carry clip for convenient portability. Both the blade and handle are finished in a sleek limo tint black. The QSE-9 Mr. Strickland is not for the faint-hearted; it is a knife designed for those who strive for excellence and demand a top-notch cutting tool.
