‘H’ Folder.
A classic, re-imagined.
We have all seen the classic penknife before, but this one is different. Elegant lines in a beautiful brass shell hide a substantial blade, which is far more capable than its golden fleece suggests. A wolf in sheeps clothing.
Inspired by a gentleman.
My very first knife was a classic folder, given to me by my Grandfather (Bamps to me, ‘H’ to his friends) from his extensive collection. These knives were like treasure to me.
This knife is a modern version of that knife, made by myself to the tightest of tolerances. Designed to be used daily, this is a great knife for those little chores, whether around the house or out on an adventure.
I hope that one day, people will look upon their ‘H’ knife as treasure, just as I did with my Bamps knives.
Brass in pocket.
This folding knife has been built in my little French studio to my usual exacting standards using modern tools and techniques. Frickin’ lasers, 2000 degree kilns and dry ice, think laboratory rather than a dusty old workshop..
Blade.
Let’s be clear, this knife isn’t a normal penknife. Designed from the ground up to be functional as well as beautiful, the 12C27N stainless blade has a 70mm cutting edge with a width of 21mm. This makes it a legal carry in the U.K whilst also being chunky enough to be useful.
The nasty little nail pick on ‘normal’ penknives has been replaced by a slot, making it far easier to open the blade, even with cold hands. For added grip when pivoting, the blade is engraved with a recurring ‘H’ pattern.
Handle.
The polished brass looks and feels special. Hidden pins are used to make the knife look and feel like a solid piece of gold. It is a real head turner.
A hardened stainless pin is used as a pivot, ensuring the knife will last for generations to come. This truly is a piece to hand down to the grandchildren.
Brass has been chosen as a handle material as it develops a beautiful patina, making the knife even more beautiful over time.
