Overview
This FK1 framelock from Stephan Fowler features a W2 blade with a gorgeous hamon/temper line. The blade is crafted from 1/4" stock giving the knife a nice hefty feel in the hand. The lockbar portion of the handle is titanium and has been nicely contoured. The presentation side of the handle has a stainless steel bolster with a carbon fiber scale and green G10 spacer. The backspacer and the pocket clip are also carbon fiber and the clip is positioned for tip up carry. This folder is new from Mr. Fowler and comes in a Pelican hard case with a signed/dated certificate of authenticity. Mr. Fowler has been making knives since 2002 and received his Journeyman Smith ranking in the American Blade-Smith Society in 2015. He also serves as the President of the Georgia Knife Makers Guild.
