Chad Nell Custom Gent UDT Polished RWL34 Zirconium Bolsters Marbled Carbon Fiber Liner Lock Flipper

We have another full dress Gent UDT from custom maker Chad Nell and, no surprise, it is a stand out piece that is sure to catch the eye. This tactically inspired flipper has been decked out to the nines with a mirror polished, RWL34 blade, Zirconium bolsters, Marbled Carbon Fiber scales and Timascus clip, pivot collars and back spacer. While visually stunning the Gent UDT retains a robust and utilitarian design making it appealing to users and collectors alike.

Brand new, direct from Chad Nell, USA.

Blade: The Gent UDT has a harpoon-style Tanto profile with clean lines that are highlighted by the visually appealing mirror polished finish. Jimping at the spine provides traction while the compound grind (flat tip and hollow primary edge) deliver and excellent balance of performance if you can bring yourself to use this custom showpiece. The blade rides on a caged bearing pivot and deploys via the flipper tab with exceptional smoothness and speed thanks to the dialed in detent.

Handle: While the polished blade is striking the zirconium bolsters and marbled carbon fiber scales have a subdued beauty and elegance. Rainbow anodized titanium Torx hardware add a pop of color contrast and complement the exotic Timascus details. Orange peel textured titanium liners support the scales and form the liner lock mechanism that is smooth and reliable. Construction is rounded out with a standout Timascus back spacer.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, 3D machined Timascus pocket clip.

Includes "Nell Knives" embroidered nylon zipper pouch and signed/dated Specs card from the maker.

RWL-34: RWL34, named after the world-famous knife maker Robert W Loveless, was developed by Damasteel as a powder metallurgy version of the Japanese ATS34. RWL34 offers high strength and toughness combined with extreme edge sharpness that is easy to maintain. RWL34 most appreciated features among knife makers are the ease to work with and the ability to mirror polish finish. Preforms similarly to CPM-154.
