The Fortis Flipper is the next great way to get into a midtech Ferrum Forge knife without the high cost of a full on custom. This knife still features hand finishing, top of the line materials, and the superb fit and finish of all Ferrum Forge knives. It's a simple design with very few parts but it packs a whole lot of cutting performance into this beautiful knife. The handles are solid Titanium with a blasted then stonewashed finish and steel lock insert with integral overtravel arrestor. There will be two versions of this design, model A will have straight parallel grooves while the model B will have a more curved, organic milling pattern.

This is of course a flipper design and the action is made buttery smooth by the thrust bearings which also assist in the knife's strong lockup. The 3.75" blade is made from DuraTech 20CV steel with an excellent drop point shape with plenty of belly and a finger choil to choke up on. This finish on this blade is quite extraordinary. It's got a readily visible stonewashed finish but it has what can best be described as a clear coating over the finish to protect the steel from corroding. It gives the blade a very, very handsome looking finish and it appears to be one that will wear well over time. The knife features a bent titanium pocket clip, anodized titanium standoffs and pivot screw. No detail is overlooked in a Ferrum Forge product and this Fortis Flipper is an excellent design for anyone looking for a top notch knife at a very good price. Limited production of only 100 pieces per model.
