Details

The Tighe Down model from custom maker Brian Tighe is a sleek, button lock flipper that pushes the bounds of the modern tactical folder platform. Innovative knife designs are Brian Tighe's forte and the organic milled lines of the Tighe Down are the cornerstone of his signature, iconic design aesthetic. An integral construction keeps the lines of this knife very clean, highlighting the organic design and eye-catching materials. This piece has a compound ground, harpoon tip Damasteel blade and Mars Valley FatCarbon Carbon Fiber handle with Damasteel pivot collar and clip.

Brand new, direct from Brian Tighe.

Blade: The Damasteel blade glides on Brian's STBS (Sealed Thrust Bearings System) for some of the smoothest operation on the planet and deploys via dual thumb studs or the index flipper. A compound ground Harpoon tip blade provides an excellent combination of strength and cutting performance as well as strong visual lines to complement the overall design of the knife.

Handle: A solid piece of stunning Mars Valley FatCarbon Carbon Fiber is milled to create the integral handle. The fluted pattern on the sides give the knife a very organic and futuristic look, a Brian Tighe signature, with a stunning look from the red and black carbon fiber layers. The Tighe Down has less aggressive finger grooves than other models for a cleaner look while still being very secure in the hand. The smooth, robust button lock provides secure lock up and a custom pivot with Damasteel pivot collars to complete this outstanding piece. The pommel end has a contoured milled channel for lanyard attachment. Includes a padded Brian Tighe zipper pouch.

Carries via a tip-up, right hand, fluted Damasteel pocket clip with ceramic tension ball.

Damasteel: Damasteel is a high hardness, high corrosion resistance steel that combines two stainless steels - RWL 34 and PMC 27 - in various patterns that, when etched, creates the designs seen in the blade. This delivers a blade that has striking looks and modern performance. Functionally comparable to CPM-154.
