Full-time custom maker and mentor Alan Folts is well known for eye-catching style and functional designs, including his custom and production Minimalist neck knives. The Utility folder is a straightforward liner lock design that is ideal for users while offering visual appeal for collectors. The U/W is a more compact version with a striking harpoon Wharncliffe blade perfect for urban carry. This piece comes with a Damasteel blade, blue anodized titanium liners and hardware, contoured carbon fiber scales with zirconium bolsters and a matching milled zirc clip.

Brand new, directly from Alan Folts.

Blade: The harpoon Wharncliffe blade comes in stunning Damasteel stainless Damascus for visual appeal and modern performance. Deployment is smooth on bronze washers with ambidextrous opening via dual thumb studs or the jimped thumb ramp. The powerful harpoon blade is done in Folts’ iconic style with comfortable jimping and a high hollow grind with razor like plain cutting edge and a fine piercing tip.

Handle: Thick anodized titanium liners support fully contoured carbon fiber scales with blue fiber liners and zirconium bolsters in a sweeping design that is ergonomic and visually appealing. The liner lock mechanism is smooth and solid with secure lockup. A generous palm swell makes the handle secure in multiple grips without the need for aggressive texture or jimping. Anodized titanium pivot, Torx screws and half-length back spacer complete the construction. Includes Dragoncut microfiber pouch and signed information card.

Carries via a right hand milled zirc pocket clip.

Damasteel: A modern pattern welded stainless Damascus, Damasteel combines two modern stainless steels – RWL34 and PMC27. Folded in unique patterns, the finished steel is acid etched to create the eye-catching designs seen on the blade. Offering the high hardness and corrosion resistance of RWL34, Damasteel has similar performance to CPM-154.
