A custom flipper from David Mosier, the Crossfire has a two-tone finish on both the blade and its titanium handle. Sporting warm brass undertones, the lightweight titanium handle seems like a different species of metal from your typical Ti-handle knife. The S30V blade complements the blade design, which has a clip-point shape that is strengthened towards the tip for a strong point. It also has a false edge and a small thumb groove for delicate tasks, and a tip-up pocket clip for ease of use. (Photo: vermicelli – BladeForums)

Two companions at the beach! Zero Tolerance ZT0562CF and the Citizen Nighthawk watch on a grey nato strap!

The knife handles are a duo kind – having a carbon fiber front scale and a stonewashed titanium back scale. Quite pocketable at 5.5 oz. (156 g) and a blade length of 3.5″ (overall length 8.3″, closed 4.8″).

Opinel pocket knives are one of the most popular and inexpensive pocket knives available. Knifemaker Ross Tyler modded the No4 carbon steel knife, which he describes as a “pimped up toxic post apocalyptic Steam punk’ish Opinel mod”.

The carbon steel no.4 Opinel blade was striped out then dark etched in ferric with a hint of copper. The Higonokami style one piece handle was beaten out of an old copper pipe, which was flattened then hammer hardened. It is secured with a kydex eyelet and a torx pivot and was then all etched, brass blackened and then stone washed for an aged effect.
