When you think of a custom handmade knife, something created by Sergey Rogovets is the kind of knife you think about. Something that is beautiful and elegant, yet tactical and highly functional. The fit, finish, and unparalleled presentation are what he's known for and we couldn't agree more. There isn't a flaw in the manufacturing to be seen and Sergey delivers the knife to you in a waterproof Pelican case.
This custom Rhino is one absolute beast of a knife and one of the first two of this design Sergey has produced. It's manufactured just like all of his knives; extremely well with much attention paid to each and every detail. The exorbitantly thick wharncliffe blade is made from CPM-3V stainless steel with a blacked out finish and Round Hole licensed by Spyderco Knives. For many that believe the patent Spyderco owns just applies to a round hole in the blade, you'd be wrong. The patent applies to the exact distance between the middle of the hole and the pivot, which is 1.15" and standard across all Spyderco models. They have found and obviously Sergey aggrees that this distance makes for the easiest, smoothest opening and this handmade Rhino is no different.
The milled 6Al4V titanium handle features a black and orange coated two-tone finish and very ergonomic shape. The hardware is polished stainless steel with a custom engine-turned pivot screw and gorgeous milled copper backspacer and pivot collar. The clip has the same black and orange coated finish as the handle, which is an excellent touch from Sergey. The frame lock is supremely easy to disengage and features a replaceable D2 tool steel lockbar insert. The blade rides on caged thrust ball bearings for action that is buttery smooth and supremely satisfying. This is an amazing looking, feeling and performing knife that we think is a must-have in your collection. Inside of the frame is engraved with the maker's signature/serial number/blade steel and the knife includes a certificate of authenticity and T20 Torx screw for adjusting the pivot and hardware.
This is a pre owned knife. The knife pictured is the actual knife for sale. Comes in the original box with all accessories.
