Overview
Custom Knife Factory might sound like an ambiguous name but it's definitely one worth remembering. Their knives are mid-tech by definition but the quality definitely borders on full custom. They have a CNC machine shop in China that does some of the legwork but all the hand fit and finishing is done in house in their Moscow shop. They use top-of-the-line materials made in the USA and designs from some of the most talented knife designers in Russia.
This is the fourth Decepticon model from Custom Knife Factory with a more compact, pocketable shape than ever before. Alexey Konygin keeps refining and improving his design which is another one of the coolest looking and the best-manufactured mid-tech knives we've ever seen. This full dress knife is comprised of timascus handle scales over timascus liners with the traditional skeletonized shape that made the first three models so intriguing. The Rose Damasteel sheepsfoot blade has adequate strength near the tip and a large amount of belly for slicing. The action is absolute perfection, even with such a compact flipper tab, and it comes outfitted with a replaceable steel lockbar insert. The knife features a milled titanium pocket clip and stop pins attached to the blade which are hidden when the knife is both open and closed! You cannot go wrong with a Custom Knife Factory offering, the quality is up there with absolutely any manufacturer out there and their prices are hard, if not impossible to beat!
