ESNYX (Evan Nicolaides) - Workhorse (Checkered Black Richlite) - sold
This exceptional Workhorse model comes from the skilled hands of multi–award-winning custom knifemaker Evan Nicolaides (ESNYX). Known for his precision and refined craftsmanship, Evan delivers a slipjoint that perfectly balances performance with collector-grade detail.
The blade is crafted from premium RWL34 stainless steel with a meticulous hand-rubbed satin finish, offering both durability and a striking visual presence. It features a crisp half stop, sits perfectly flush in all three positions, and has a smooth, confident pull rated approximately 6 on a 10-point scale.
The handles are made from richly textured Richlite, hand-checkered by Evan for both grip and aesthetic appeal. A decorative pivot adds a custom touch, complemented by a “Workhorse” shield set into the scale. Beneath, the titanium frame is anodized in a distinctive green, matching the pivot accents, and includes an integral lanyard hole for added functionality.
