Trabant mini-CL with a bright ZircuTi pocket clip
Trabant mini-CL ZircuTi is a lightweight custom folder made by the famous Russian knifemaker Alexei Kukin. A compact knife with unique design and decor, made from premium materials, an object of collector's attention and an excellent contender for the role of daily assistant.
Despite the "mini" prefix, the size of Alexey Kukin's work is a full-fledged EDC knife. In a bigger version of Trabant, a blade goes beyond a handle and it is forced to hide in a mini sheath.
Trabant mini is equipped with a 4-inch blade that completely hides in the handle without the need for additional attachments.
The knife weighs only 80 grams. This unusual lightness allows being a permanent resident in the owner's pocket as a daily companion. The elegant pocket clip is made of a bright ZircuTi. It looks like an accessory, at the same time it gently and securely attaches Trabant mini to the clothing.
The glamorous overflow of the clip is in harmony with a thumb pin, which is also made of titanium and zirconium alloy. The azure coffee pattern of ZircuTi is accompanied by hardware anodized in bronze and azure.
The blade opens with the thumb pin, and it is securely fixed by a liner lock.
The blade shape is a drop and clip point mix formed from high-alloy American CPM-S110V steel. This alloy has improved characteristics of wear resistance and strength. CPM-S110V holds excellent sharpness and confidently resists corrosion.
The highly functional blade shape, multiplied by the premium steel grade, guarantees pleasure while working. The knife shows itself perfectly both with point loads and with longitudinal cuts. The strong, sharp blade is adorned with a skillful longitudinal hand-made satin finishing - the author's specialty.
The black carbon fiber handle gives the extraordinarily low weight of the folder. The two durable scales are precisely matched to each other that the illusion of an integral handle arises.
The warm matte surface of carbon with its texture works against slipping, ensuring a secure grip.
Trabant mini-CL ZircuTi is a custom folder with perfect mechanics and decor. The play of color on the clip, the velvet of the carbon handle, exquisite satin, and a functional blade: you will fall in love with Trabant mini at the first cut.
