: Renowned South African knifemaker Andre Thorburn had been telling me about his friend Helgard for the past several months. For the past year or so, Andre had been showing Mostert many of his tricks. I was very excited to see his work in person and I wasn’t disappointed.
The drop point blade is hand ground stainless damascus forged by Damasteel in Sweden. This high performing stainless damascus steel is created using powder metallurgical manufacturing to provide excellent edge retention and unmatched beauty. The blade is hollow ground for an easy to maintain edge. It is perfectly centered. Ceramic bearings ensure it has silky-smooth, drop shut action. The inobtrusive front flipper is tremendously easy to use.
Handle scales are red canvas Micarta, set on anodized titanium liners. A black G-10 backspacer keeps the knife light, yet strong. This 3D machined titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-side, tip-up carry.
Exceptional work throughout!
