The unique hiding flipper — 110 Kickstop Sapphire Blue
Here before you is an upgrade of the legendary Shirogorov model. Now the "one-ten" boasts a unique proprietary mechanism that cleverly conceals the flipper tab once the knife is open. This limited-edition elite flipper was born from a collaboration between the Shirogorov Brothers Workshop and the genius of knife engineering, custom maker Lee Williams.
Kickstop is in the name for a reason — the American master's invention is not some modification of a previously known system; it is an entirely new mechanism. The flipper tab is not part of the blade — it's a separate component that, after deployment, retreats into the body of the handle.
The folder is released in a limited run of 300 pieces and is undeniably one for the connoisseurs. It's also perfectly suited for daily pocket carry. The S90V steel blade holds its edge exceptionally well, resists corrosion, and offers impressive wear resistance. This is a serious working tool.
The lightning-fast flip is thanks to the roller bearing pivot. Once open, the folder locks up solidly with a reliable frame lock, protected from wear by a steel insert.
The clip-point profile is a true all-rounder. This shape performs beautifully in both push cuts and piercing motions. The masculine lines are accentuated by a two-tone finish. The high grinds are matte-finished with beadblasting, while the flats feature longitudinal satin finishing.
Complementing the matte décor is the monochrome titanium handle. The surface of the scales is fully covered in fine texturing, with a deeper pattern applied in the areas of greatest hand contact. This texture ensures maximum grip and complete control over the knife during use.
The restrained metallic aesthetic is enlivened by azure accents of anodized titanium: a decorative pivot collar, a long backspacer, and a well-designed pocket clip.
The package includes a branded cardboard box, a black branded microfiber cloth, and a certificate signed by Sergey Shirogorov and Lee Williams.
The 110 Kickstop is a must-have for collectors of folders with unusual mechanics — and simply an outstanding, solid tactical knife.
