The A15 is the largest of the folders made by Jake Hoback. The Ultra High End Production or UHEP give you the quality of a Hoback custom at a production price point.
This knife is a beast. Start with .180" thick BECUT steel in the modified Tanto blade, honed to a razors edge. Sandwich this between two slabs of nearly 3/16" thick contoured, unmilled titanium giving a surprisingly well balanced package with a comfortable and ergonomic grip. The handles are inset with G10 for a more secure grip and interesting look. The blade deploys swiftly on Caged Roller Bearings via a large index flipper. Deployment can be tailored to the individual user thanks to Jake's Hoback Roller Detent which also reduces friction providing even smoother operation and decreasing wear on the blade. The HRD is mounted through the Hardened Steel Lock Face Insert which gives you vault like lock up and double as over travel protection. Weighing in at over a half pound this knife is truly a tank. This overbuilt blade will dominate whatever task may come its way. Check it out now at GPKnives.com.
