The Fossil combines the best from designer Flavio Ikoma of Presidente Prudente Brazil. The knife has a distinctive prehistoric look. But it goes through jobs like a T-rex on stainless steel steroids courtesy of a drop point blade style that makes virtually anything in its path history. It features the IKBS ball bearing pivot system combined with an opening flipper the result is blade deployment that is smooth and fast. A thumb hole cutout in the blade gives you a second option for opening the knife. The flipper also turns into a handsome finger guard when the blade is open. The handles are made of stainless steel with a unique hammered finish. Contoured multi-colored G10 handle overlays make it look like a gator.
