Brian Tighe Custom Tighe Fighter Auto Stonewashed DLC RWL34 Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Folder 4554

The Tighe Fighter Automatic from Canadian custom knife maker Brian Tighe is his answer to the call for a modern, tactical folder. The contoured handle fills the hand and thanks to the full Carbon Fiber construction keeps the weight under 4 ounces while retaining a beefy +5 mm thick blade! The Tighe Fighter is a modern tactical design with a dramatic and sophisticated look that catches the eye with Brian's signature organic lines, attention to detail and high-end fit and finish. This piece comes with a milled and contoured unidirectional carbon fiber handle and a stonewashed black DLC coated RWL34 stainless steel blade.

Brand New, directly from Brian Tighe, Canada.

Blade: With a utilitarian straight clip point profile, the hollow ground blade delivers excellent slicing and piercing performance with solid durability. RWL34 stainless steel offers balanced performance for daily use and ease of maintenance. A rugged black DLC coating enhances corrosion resistance, is discreetly non-reflective, and has been stonewashed for enhanced wear hiding ability. The blade deploys fast and smooth via the button operated, automatic coil spring mechanism. The blade is marked with Brian's signature logo on the front.

Handle: 3D milled and contoured unidirectional carbon fiber is used for the entire handle along with a full length black G10 back spacer for high performance visual appeal. Stepped texturing provides a contoured feel as well as traction in the hand which pairs with the milled finger grooves, pommel swell and index guard for a solid, secure grip. The button lock mechanism reduces the weight considerably while maintaining a balanced feel in the hand and providing solid, secure lockup and smooth operation. A large cut out at the pommel exposes the lanyard hole milled back spacer. Includes a custom zippered nylon storage pouch.

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

RWL34: RWL34, named after the world-famous knife maker Robert W Loveless, was developed by Damasteel as a powder metallurgy version of 154CM/ATS-34. Similar to CPM154, RWL34 offers better edge retention than D2 with good toughness, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. Knife makers appreciate the ease of machining and finishing, being capable of taking a mirror polish.
