Not sure of the origin of the company, but they're very new to the industry. Whether that means they're brand new, or it's some folks from another company that branched off on their own (like Kancept and others did with Kizer).
Either way, it looks like the first few models are from Rattle Snake design. The same that's some mediocre and a couple great TwoSun knives, and has now done about 16 designs for SixLeaf, where the model design as a whole has improved.
This isn't a wholly original pattern. It's a very traditional asian style folding tanto kinda thing. We've seen similar things like the Civivi Exarch, some things from Foresail, and I suppose the TwoSun Shinobi is also very similar.
This one though, flexes the company's muscles... or at least their CNC machine. It's relatively plain on the outside, but they did a fantastic job milling the inside to reduce a ton of weight, while still including a clam-shell back spacer, hidden lanyard point and having a couple modern-looking grooves in the front that can accommodate Tritium vials.
The blade is nice and slicey. It has a bead blast finish on it, which I think plays nicely with the titanium finish. The only nitpick I can see so far, is it's a frame lock, so doing the "reach around" rather than using your thumb for the flipper can be difficult.
Specs:
3.35" (85.1mm) M390 blade with 3.2 mm stock thickness
3.16 oz / 89.5 gram weight
0.47" (11.9mm) handle thickness (Ti)
Frame Lock
Ceramic bearings & detent ball
