Here is a new Brad Southard model, the AWT. Brad names his knives after authors whose works have made an impact on him, AWT is for the author A.W. Tozer. This is a frame-lock flipper utilizing the IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System), the blade is CPM-S30V at RC 60 with a hand rubbed finish, the scales are sculpted Carbon Fiber, Titanium stand-offs, the Titanium frame and pocket-clip have Brad's "distressed oxidized" finish, the pocket-clip is set for tip up carry. Ambidextrous thumb-studs offer a second option for opening, the thumb-studs, flipper lever and the thumb rest on the spine are decorated with stippling and there is a lanyard hole. A lot going on here at a great price. Brad is relatively new on the knife making scene having made his first complete knife in 2008. Brad's background in industrial design seems to be serving him well as a knifemaker, I predict he will become a much sought after maker.
blade length: 3 1/2" ................... closed: 4 1/2" ............. overall length: 8"
case/sheath: maker supplied pouch
