Les Voorhies Claymore Flipper Silver Lightening Strike Carbon Fiber S35VN 3930

Designed by Faisal Yamin and built to perfection by Les Voorhies the Claymore is a robust, tactical, every day carry folder with a truly custom style. Built on a beefy titanium liner frame the Claymore has a smooth operating CPM-S35VN blade executed in a hollow ground, recurve profile. This version comes with Zirconium bolsters and Silver Lightening Strike Carbon Fiber scales.

Brand new direct from Les Voorhies.

Blade: The sub-3.5 inch, S35VN blade is robust at the spine with a hollow ground recurve profile that offers powerful slicing performance. A long top swedge tapers the spine to a fine tip for piercing and a ball bearing pivot offers fast, smooth deployment via the generous flipper tab. The two-tone satin finish showcases the custom nature of this piece.

Handle: The Claymore starts with 2mm thick titanium liners, one of which forms the rock solid lock. A custom, titanium Torx pivot and screws attach the sweeping Zirconium bolsters and handsome Silver Lightening Strike Carbon Fiber scales to the simple, ergonomic handle. The flipper tab doubles as an index finger guard and a fin-like stainless steel backspacer protects the blade and has an exposed, striker pommel end. Includes a microfiber baggie and signed/dated card from Mr Les Voorhies.

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

CPM S35VN: was designed to offer improved toughness over CPM S30V. It is also easier to machine and polish than CPM S30V. The inclusion of Niobium allows for the formation of niobium carbides along with vanadium and chromium carbides. Substituting niobium carbides for some of the vanadium carbides makes CPM S35VN about 15-20% tougher than CPM S30V without any loss of wear resistance. CPM S35VN’s improved toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping.
