Atypical folding knife

Not Phacochoerus africanus, but an atypical folding knife with a well-thought-out closing mechanism. The Warthog is a design created by Jérôme Hovaere, owner of Torpen Knives, and made in collaboration with Max Knives. It is a smaller EDC knife that could be used for opening boxes and other EDC-related tasks (EDC-related tasks could be a discussion without end). I used it for a month and cut mostly ropes and fruit with it. It is a very strong, small knife that I used with pleasure.

For the price and choice of materials, I would say, well done. 250€ on the website of Max Knives.

The chosen materials:

1) *Blade: N690

2) Handle material: titanium

3) Clip: titanium

4) Thumb stud: titanium

The closing mechanism is, in my eyes, a frame lockback system. It was created and designed by Jérôme and is a sturdy, well-locking system.

All in all, it is a great all-around EDC knife that could please many knife fans, but be aware, only 300 pieces were made in both colors (Natural and Bronze anodized).
