Alan Folts Utility Sheepsfoot Stonewashed CPM154 Carbon Fiber Liner Lock Folder 4482

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 Utility folder is a straightforward liner lock design that is ideal for users while offering visual appeal for collectors. This piece comes with a dark stonewashed CPM-154 Sheepsfoot blade, polished titanium liners, contoured carbon fiber scales and a satin finished 3D titanium clip.

Brand new, directly from Alan Folts, USA.

Blade: Blasted and tumbled, the dark stonewashed CPM-154 blade is both stylish and rugged, hiding wear from use and carry and discreetly non-reflective. Deployment is smooth on bronze washers with ambidextrous opening via dual thumb studs. The utilitarian Sheepsfoot profile is done in Folts’ iconic style with comfortable jimped thumb ramp and a high hollow grind with razor like plain cutting edge. 

Handle: Thick polished titanium liners support fully contoured and polished carbon fiber scales in a sweeping design that is ergonomic and aesthetically attractive. A double palm swell makes the handle secure in multiple grips without the need for aggressive texture or jimping. A custom pivot, titanium Torx screws and half-length Micarta back spacer complete the construction.

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

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.
