Details

Randy Doucette Custom Artillery Flipper with Marbled Carbon Fiber, custom Anodized Titanium bolster and a Compound Ground M390 Modified Wharncliffe blade. The Artillery is a great size for EDC and is sure to catch some eyes with its custom features and highly detailed Gosolov "Steampunk" beaded lanyard. Brand new direct from maker.

The Blade: The hand-ground Modified Wharncliffe blade sports a compound grind, saber at the tip and hollow for the primary cutting edge, that delivers exceptional slicing performance with enhanced tip strength. The blade rides on a caged ball bearing pivot system for glassy smooth flipping action. The spine has nearly full length swedge with just enough jimping to enhance security. The grind leaves enough thickness near the spine to keep the blade tough and allow for putting thumb pressure on the spine, while supporting a fine, razor-like edge. The bi-directional satin finish gives this relatively large blade a very classy look in keeping with the high level of fit and finish.

The Handle: Ergonomic and contoured the handle scales of this knife are made from Marbled Carbon Fiber with custom anodized titanium bolsters secured to the liners with custom Torx hardware. The scales are polished for a refined look while reducing friction points. The ergonomic design locks the knife in the hand despite the smooth scales for a very secure feel. The anodized titanium back spacer has heavy jimping for additional in-hand security. Thick titanium liners for the framework are finished in a subdued, blasted finish. The knife carries via a right-hand, tip-up, custom anodized titanium pocket clip. Attached to the back spacer is a short, paracord lanyard with a highly detailed Gosolov "Steampunk" skull bead.
