This A1 Front Flipper is a collaborative effort by Andre E. Thorburn (blade) and Andre Van Heerden (handle). The blade is Austrian Bohler N690 steel with a high hand satin finish and hollow grind. The front flipper differs from a standard flipper and may take a few attempts before mastering the technique, but the IKBS pivot makes the action smooth and precise. The handle is an appealing mix of blue/black G-10 and fine C-Tek with an undulating groove pattern. The handle features an anodized titanium liner lock frame and custom G-10 pocket clip.
