The knife is called Skinlock because it's made out of a 3mm titanium slab with a laminated layer of Flax-Fibre on top of it. This gives the skin effect. It would normally take a liner lock to achieve the same results and this makes the layer of micartha thicker. Now the flax layer is only 0,3mm and flexes along with the pocket clip as well. Curious how I did this? Watch the 18 minute documentary I made, or the 4 minute short video of the summary!
