Although most of the time the materials I use in my knives consist of things that come from mother Earth - in this instance I decided to create a liner locker from an exotic space-age material that is quite literally out of this world.
The scales are made from a special composite carbon material (manufactured by Boeing) used to conduct lightning and static electricity safely around a space shuttle orbiter.
I was lucky enough to be able to purchase one tile of the last 5 that are in existence.
This makes this Safari Line-locker extraordinarily collectable.
Blade: ATS 34 – hardened to 60 Rc – Hollow ground – Mirror polished – African hut file work
Bolster: 416 Stainless steel – mirror polished.
Enjoy!
