Drawing from the past, and looking to the future is a recurring theme of recent Quartermaster Knives. The QSE-9 Mr. Strickland folder has a distinct angular style that is highly functional and capable in hand.
It features a compound ground tanto blade, based on Gustavo Cecchini's custom Airborne knife, with fluid blade action that's courtesy of the proprietary ORB pivot assembly. The handle, constructed of 0.17" thick titanium, is a fantastic yet ergonomic platform with an ambidextrous reversible tip-up carry clip. Both blade and handle are stonewash finished. The QSE-9 Mr. Strickland is not suitable for "slackers." It's a knife for over-achievers who want a stand-out, premium cutting instrument.
