This is a wonderfully designed knife from Andre, probably the most popular from his Tactical line with artistic attributes ~ this is the new M16 

 Like all Andre’s Flippers, this blade has a perfect Detent and it Flies open Effortlessly due to the IKBS system and the precision balance on the blade.  Extremely impressive action!  The Jimping on the end of the Flipper is very comfortable. 

Razor Sharp Precision Ground blade with Custom Swedge and a Uniform Stonewashed Finish.

The wonderful Ergonomics of this big knife will make you rethink your Every Day Carry options. The Thick Titanium frame has been  overlayed with Fullly contoured and Fluted Carbon Fiber scales making this a lightweight powerhouse for sure. Comfortable in either the Forward or Reverse positions.

While developing this design for hard use Andre knew it needed a Full Length G10 Backspacer, the Traction Ridges and Linear Flutes help to channel fluid or material during use.  

  Deep carry Custom pocket clip allows for discreet carry yet easy access. Very secure lock and perfectly centered blade.  

A big, precision built EDC package complete with Branded Padded Storage Pouch
