Custom "Fifth Pocket" with a reverse flip
Getting your hands on Igor Gichkin's "Fifth Pocket" is a great joy — whether you're a seasoned collector or a newcomer to the knife world. The model has become the maker's biggest hit and sells like hotcakes. Before you is a custom piece crafted personally by Igor Mikhailovich. Notably, this knife belongs to the early design of the "Fifth Pocket" — later on, the master would swap the front flipper for a rear one.
The folder charms with its simplicity of form and richness of detail. The unpretentious "Finnish" blade gleams with flawless mirror polish, while the rectangular handle winks with gold and draws you in with its darkness. The "Fifth Pocket" is an ideal gentleman's flipper — its light weight (just 100 g) and compact size (18 cm) won't weigh down even the lightest summer suit.
As an EDC knife, the "Fifth Pocket" is equally impressive. The Swedish RWL-34 steel on the blade is tough and holds an edge beautifully. And the titanium liner and premium carbon fiber handle are low-maintenance and easy to care for.
We can't help but admire the custom's flip action! The legendary Brazilian IKBS bearing system makes the blade dance. The open knife is secured by the titanium liner lock spring.
The "Fifth Pocket" is a dress flipper with EDC ambitions. For those who like to stay sharp — and stay stylish.
