A new folding knife is born ! This knife ,the explorer is my first collaboration with another knifemaker Antoine Van Loocke and comes in a limited production run.I am working on a extra page to explain the origin, purpose and proces of this tactical folding knife.

    Super! Simple and organic design, plane lines. Just 2 screws – Sebenza has 3!!! But I don’t see lanyard hole and clip. It would be great to see the bigger rear screw – some dissonance with fore huge screw. How I understand – just assist opening – it’s good – it works on simplicity. It would be great to see it in small size too – (2.5-3.5 inch closed) I like pocket knives – I’m not a militarist :) – in this case you don’t need clip – but lanyard hole is desirable – but on other side it works against simple design. Could you give a little more info: size, price, steel …
    Thanks.

    The prototype will be improved of course,there will be some hidden feature to attach a lanyard.For the prices,sizes,availability and extra pics will be published within 1 month.Now I busy with 3 explorer folder with small differences.One knife will be used for a review, not really a passaround but one explorer available to a lot of people to test.

    That’s one of the best looking knives I’ve seen in a long while. If I had a bit of money for a custom folder at this point, I’d definitely have to try and pick one of these up. Very nice work.
