Description: Growing up in a house where everybody had creative hobbies, John has always enjoyed making things with his hands. A part time knifemaker and retired architect, John Arnold finds both joy and satisfaction in designing and constructing well balanced, well proportioned and beautiful knives. The Knifemakers Guild of South Africa recognized John's skill and accepted him as a member in September 2006.
The Simba has long been among John's most popular designs. Now he has developed the Mini-Simba to be a more pocket-friendly version of his original design.
The blade is formed from premium M390 powdered stainless steel for the extreme edge retention, high strength, and the toughness that a hard-use knife demands. Because of its uniform microstructure and stainless properties, M390 is often used in surgical cutting instruments and other applications that require a high finish. It is wickedly sharp, incorporating a fascinating grind - John has sculpted the swedge in such a way that when viewed point-first, the reverse tanto tip forms an elongated diamond shape.
The action is drop shut smooth, thanks to the IKBS ball bearing system. The blade is perfectly centered without the slightest wobble. The IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) pivot system, which was originally designed to fit balisong knives, uses ball bearings to create smooth action with no blade play. A front flipper assists in the ease of opening. The compact front flipper is easy to use and does not get caught on things while carried in the pocket.
The handle is made from gray G10 and features Unique Micarta inlaid into both sides. A matching Unique Micarta pivot collar surrounds the pivot. Titanium liners have been jewel polished on the interior and surround a stainless steel backbar. The titanium pocket clip is mounted for right-handed, tip-up carry.
This is a perfect knife for daily carry!
