Alan Folts Sultan Dark Stonewashed CPM154 Textured Blue/Black G10 Liner Lock Folder 4484

Full-time custom maker and mentor Alan Folts is well known for eye-catching style and functional designs, including his custom and production Minimalist neck knives. The Sultan is a stunning liner lock with a dramatic visual appeal for collectors thanks to the aggressive blade and sweeping handle lines while retaining excellent functionality in use. This piece comes with a dark stonewashed CPM-154 scimitar blade, blue anodized titanium liners, textured blue/black G10 scales and a blue anodized 3D titanium clip with lanyard hole.

Brand new, directly from Alan Folts, USA.

Blade: A blend of clip point Bowie and sweeping scimitar, the CPM-154 blade has a deep thumb scoop on the spine and jimped thumb ramp and index choil for traction and versatility in use. The eye-catching profile and high hollow grind are visually appealing for the collector. The blasted and tumbled dark stonewashed finish is more utilitarian for users, hiding wear and being discreetly non-reflective. Deployment is smooth on bronze washers with ambidextrous opening via dual thumb studs or spine jimping. The high hollow grind terminates in a razor like recurve plain cutting edge, making this a formidable slicing and piercing blade.

Handle: Thick blue anodized titanium liners support fully contoured blue/black G10 handle scales that are milled with a deep texture for optimal traction while mild in the hand. The sweeping lines of the handle are eye catching and deliver a surprisingly comfortable handle made secure with subtle and well-placed finger grooves and a tapered pommel along with the scales. An anodized custom pivot, titanium Torx screws and half-length textured back spacer complete the construction.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, 3D titanium pocket clip with lanyard hole.

CPM-154: A particle metallurgy (PM) version of Crucible 154CM that benefits from the refinement in the PM process. A great all-around blade steel, CPM-154 has D2 level edge retention, AEB-L level corrosion resistance and comparable toughness to other PM stainless steels with ease of sharpening/finishing.
