Lynn C. Thompsons love of Filipino Martial Arts encouraged this collaboration with Mike Wallace on the Luzon (LOO-ZAHN) folder. Inspired by several balisongs in Lynns collection, but functioning as a flipper, the Luzons are a politically correct alternative for those who are unable to legally own balisongs. The Luzons blades are comprised of 8Cr13MoV Stainless, and expertly hardened to 57-58 Rockwell and feature sharp, strong, points with just enough belly to make them equally useful for cutting and slashing. Youll be dreaming of the Philippines once you experience the Luzons bamboo-inspired handles, featuring concave segments that offer countless comfortable grip options. Made of glass-filled nylon (GFN), the Luzons handles are impervious to the elements, and are unlike any handle weve ever made before.Handsome and budget friendly, and a breeze to flip open, the Luzons are a formidable choice for those going in harms way. Offering incomparable levels of safety, theyre equipped with a sturdy leaf-spring lock and a (patent-pending) secondary safety mechanism that, when its engaged is extremely resistant to shock and impact. Your fingers will be safe even under the worst conditions. Available in two sizes, both feature a lanyard hole.Specifications: Overall Length: 9.00 in Handle Material: GFN Blade Length: 4.00 in Handle Finish: Black Blade Thickness: .11 in Weight: 3.70 oz Blade Steel: 8Cr13MoV Pocket Clip: Tip-Up Blade Shape: Clip Point Knife Type: Manual Blade Grind: Flat Lock Type: Liner Lock Blade Finish: Satin Opener: Flipper Edge Type: Plain Edge Country of Manufacturer: China Handle Length: 5.00 in Handle Thickness: .625 in
