An industry friend pointed out an amusingly named knife from Hardcore Hardware Australia, the MILF. The MILF is a frame lock folding knife with a 3.45″ modified drop point blade made of CPM S30V steel. The frame is made of 420 stainless steel, with G10 handle scales, which are available in both Black and Desert. As expected, the MILF also comes with a 420 stainless steel reversible pocket clip.
We ran across three great surprises in the CRKT booth at OR Summer Market. Designed by world-record speed climber of The Nose on El Capitan Hans Florine, these blades are lightweight and can be opened one-handed.
