REAL STEEL KNIVES IPPON

This Real Steel Ippon is a remarkable, slim pocket knife, designed by Chad Los Banos. The name Ippon comes from Japanese martial arts, where the term means 'one point', the highest possible score. The Real Steel Ippon combines the best of the Asian knife world with western knife construction.

The knife has been designed as a front flipper having a visually striking and somewhat seldom seen flipper tab arising from the head. A block backspacer was intentionally left out, instead, being replaced with a birdcage column structure that maximizes safety preventing the risk of damage to the blade when closing and also creating a strong and sturdy structure.

Its blade is made from Böhler N690 steel, which is razor-sharp with a thin grind. N690 is very corrosion-resistant and easy to sharpen. The blade shape might remind you of the traditional Japanese Kwaiken knives. With its straight spine and ascending edge, this timeless shape has been a recipe for success for centuries.
