Description
 
Scott Topper has exploded onto the knife making scene with his first design and certainly the most challenging category made the Shrike (Zero Blade Play) out the front. This is one of the most interesting and unique automatic knives we've seen since the Deadlock, covered in micro-machining details and bespoke styling much of which is based around the Fibonacci sequence. This knife has rare and amazing in its DNA. Scott spent 5+ years developing this knife and the mechanical heart that the design orbits around.



The first thing you might notice is that this knife has no traditional fasteners but instead uses 302 stainless steel rings to hold the Richlite scales in place over the 416 stainless steel chassis. The Richlite is ideal for weight reduction and acts as a strong cage to protect the very unique self adjusting mechanism that keeps the blade locked into place evenly with a huge amount of contact and zero blade play. The shrike shares more with a watch then the first glance would allow you to see, the interior of the knife is finished and jeweled to perfection for function and form.



The walnut box this knife comes in is equally unique and shares the same silhouette as the Shrike. Velvet lined and engraved with a bird skull motif, this box is held closed with hidden rare earth magnets.



The rings are all the same size and fit perfectly over the Richlite no matter where they end up if you take the knife apart to inspect or service the mechanism.



And above any of these visible details you wouldn't see elsewhere the most import part of this whole production from Scott is this knife's flawless action that's easy on the finger smoother than any other with a tight precision lockup you won't find elsewhere.
