For the user that enjoys a folding pocket knife that looks both unique, and offers great cutting tool pocket utility—the Tighe Rod delivers at first sight. You can open the blade with use of either its blade flipper, or ambidextrous thumb-studs. The Tighe Rod's blade rotates buttery smooth with caged mini ball bearings in the pivot, and its shape is user-minded with a broad sweeping, deep belly, and hollow ground cutting edge. Solid, blade lockup comes from the Klecker Lock that is uniquely formed within the steel scales creating an innovative, modern lockback design. Thicker, stainless steel handle scales are attractively skeletonized to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. Titanium Nitride coated blue and then surface finished to create a visually striking color effect. Once again custom knife designer Brian Tighe puts the edge back in knife design. Whether you're a casual knife user, or someone who seeks out the truly ôunique", the Tighe Rod will not disappoint. You can't judge a great knife on looks alone. Just in case, this one goes way beyond looks.

Ed Schempp does something few custom knifemakers do; he combines ethnic and indigenous knife styles into highly functional modern folding knives. A revival of an earlier Persian Folder collaboration, the Spyderco/Schempp Persian2 combines Western with Eastern knife influences by including a classic Persian appearance with modern steels, locking mechanisms and pocket clips. Historically Persian knives were fixed blades used ceremonially and for everyday living. The Persian Folder2 winds its way in a graceful sweeping profile from the tip of its VG-10 flat-ground blade to a curvaceous G-10 handle. Lighter and thinner than the original Spyderco Persian folder, the Persian Folder2 has skeletonized internal handle liners and a slimmer profile. The handle's curves act as a series of leveraging hand-holds, positioning a gripped hand in comfort and in control. Located mid-spine is a back- lock with the added safety feature of a David Boye Dent. Where blade and handle join is a finger choil that positions the index finger safely, nearer to the cutting edge for close- in and detailed cutting. Completing the handle is a black steel tip-up right-hand positioned pocket clip, embellished with a gold Spyderco logo bug.

The original Swick was developed for fast deployment, lightweight carry, and an exceptionally secure ergonomic grip. The result of Spyderco’s relentless Constant Quality Improvement (C.Q.I.) process, the Swick 4 is a highly refined expression of the original concept that offers even greater versatility and strength. Like its predecessors, the Swick 4 was designed by Sal Glesser and features a large index-finger hole—a feature pioneered by custom knifemaker Fred Perrin. Placing your index finger through the hole locks the knife securely into your grip and greatly reduces the possibility of it being dropped or dislodged during use. It also allows you to keep the knife in your hand while freeing your fingers to perform other tasks. The Swick 4’s enhanced finger-hole design is larger and is complemented by jimping (textured grooves) on the thumb ramp to further enhance grip control during use. The Swick 4 is precision machined from a solid piece of high-performance CPM S30V powdered metallurgy stainless steel. It features a full-flat-ground leaf-shaped blade for superior edge geometry and a skeletonized tang to minimize weight without sacrificing strength. The ergonomic handle is slim and perfectly functional in its bare state, but also features pin holes for easy attachment of handle scales or paracord wrap. Every Swick 4 comes complete with a custom-molded Boltaron sheath and a G-Clip attachment. The versatile G-Clip is angle adjustable and can be mounted to either side of the sheath, providing a full range of belt or inside-the-waistband carry options.

The Böker Plus Nano is breaking new grounds with David Curtiss' remarkable design. The Nano clearly shows that size and utility value do not have to be in direct correlation to each other. Thanks to its ingenious ergonomics, the Nano perfectly rests in your hand despite the limited size and it handles a variety of smaller and larger cutting tasks with ease and simultaneously provides an excellent level of grip. The structure of the Zytel scale enhances the slip resistance. The bellied blade is made of 440C stainless steel and ensures comfortable handling due to the large opening. A special bonus is the pocket clip. Includes steel handle with frame lock device and front Zytel scale. Includes removable pocket clip (tip-up/tip-down carry). The Nano is an extremely high quality little folder that feels much larger in the hand. The texturing on the Zytel scales provide adequate grip and the framelock is solid and quite easy to disengage. You can get a full three finger grip on this knife and the jimping on the spine, though not sharp, is very functional. A nice stout little knife, the stonewashed blade and contrasting brushed finish is a beautiful touch at the price point. The clips featuring the crosshairs in the design are the symbol of Curtiss custom designs and were made by the designer David Curtiss himself. They were then shipped to the Boker factory to attach to the knives for a truly custom element to the design.
