Bastinelli Creations Red IKBS Frame Lock Folding Knife 3.4" M390 Black PVD Stonewashed Drop Point Blade, Milled Black G10 Handle
The Bastinelli Red Folder is definitely a design to consider when looking for a new knife, no matter the applications you're looking to address. It's the folding version of their popular Red fixed blade, and it is absolutely awesome. Like the Dragotac models, you're getting a full length cutting edge to maximize the amount of usable blade you get in this knife. Measuring in at 3.5" of M390 stainless steel, the blade is placed, in relation to the handle, in a superb cutting position for slicing. The blade shape is a modified drop point with an unsharpened swedge near the tip, providing better stabbing capability. The handle is ergonomically comfortable and the edges are rounded to minimize hot spots which this knife creates very few of anyways. It's got buttery smooth action thanks to the IKBS system with very functional thumbstuds and sharp jimping on the thumb ramp. Ergonomically and visually, this is a stunning knife and the quality, being made by LionSteel (2014 BLADE Show manufacturing quality award winner), is definitely award worthy. This is one fine knife.
