WE Knives x Hel Baloo Front Flipper Black Stonewashed 20CV Gray G10 Titanium Folder WE21033-1

Custom maker Ostap Hel delivers another successful design in his series of WE Knives collaborations with Baloo front flipper. The broad drop point blade is ideal for daily use while the inlaid titanium handle provides an ergonomic handle that is comfortable in multiple grips with a rock solid nested frame lock. This version comes with a two-tone black stonewashed CPM-20CV blade, matching titanium frame and gray G10 inlays.

Brand new, direct from WE Knife Co.

Blade: The utilitarian drop point blade comes with a high saber grind and long swedge for balanced strength and performance. Striking blade cutouts offer visual appeal along with satin finished flat contrasting with the rugged black stonewashed grinds. Deployment is smooth thanks to a ceramic bearing pivot via the blade holes or ambidextrous front flipper.

Handle: Slabs of chamfered titanium inlaid with peel-ply gray G10 house the blade and partial back spacer delivering a secure and comfortable handle. Equipped with a steel lock face, the nested frame lock offers smooth operation and vault solid lockup. Being nested the lock will not impede deployment no matter your grip.

Carries via a right-hand milled titanium clip.

CPM-20CV: CPM-20CV (analog to M390 and CTS-204P) is a premium powder metallurgy (PM) stainless steel with high level edge retention and corrosion resistance. Relatively easy to sharpen, the coarse microstructure gives this steel lower toughness.
