Here's a piece that I got not too long ago, a David Mosier Spyro IKBS framelock flipper. David is known for making solidly built knives that are meant to be used, and this piece is one of the best that I've seen from him yet. The satin finished blade is 3 3/4" long, and the OAL is 8 1/2".

With a blade thickness of 5/32" and handle slabs that are 3/16" thick, this Spyro is pretty beefy for a framelock, but it fills the hand nicely when gripped, and it is comfortable to hold thanks to the contouring and chamfering that David did on the handle.

The flip action on the knife is smooth and fast, requiring no wrist action whatsoever in any direction that the knife is held in. The pivot features IKBS, the open-bearing system invented by Flavio Ikoma and Korth, and it helps the knife blade glide open and shut effortlessly.

I would highly recommend David's work to anyone looking for a well built tactical folder that begs to be used. Thanks David!
