Description
This franck souville bad guy damascus carbon fiber slipjoint knife is an ultra-rare, one-of-a-kind handmade piece from French knifemaker Franck Souville of Montgesoye, France – the very knife featured in a Blade Gallery video that inspired the Böker Bad Guy production series. It embodies Souville’s signature blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design.
The broad clip point blade is flat-ground from Souville’s own san mai damascus carbon steel, forged for a keen and durable edge with an eye-catching grain pattern. We recommend a light coat of camellia oil to prevent oxidation. The blade opens smoothly via an oversized nail nick and locks in place with a firm slipjoint spring for added security.
Its handle features precision-fit carbon fiber scales secured by pins and an inlaid Souville skull icon on the left scale. The oxidized and antiqued backspring blends seamlessly with the dark carbon fiber, giving the knife a striking modern contrast. A hand-tooled custom leather sheath and damascus lanyard bead complete this exceptional presentation.
With a blade length of 3.5 inches and overall length of 8.25 inches, this knife balances elegance and function. Each Souville creation is forged, fitted, and finished by hand in his French workshop – no two are ever alike.
A rare opportunity to own a historic knife that inspired an entire production line, this is a centerpiece for any serious collection of fine custom blades.
