The Barranca flipper - named for a narrow, winding river gorge - is a very pleasing combination of size, strength, and fluidity. The broad Wharncliffe blade is made from D2 carbon steel and has a stonewashed finish that helps the knife resist wear. The versatile blade is easily deployed using the more intuitive light switch method, so it's great for everyone, with the usual snappy lockup normally afforded by the ceramic ball bearings in the pivot. The grip fills the hand nicely and the curvature allows for solid hold in a saber grip or while choking up on the blade. This knife comes complete with a lanyard hole and reversible deep carry pocket clip to afford multiple ways to carry it.
