SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Olamic Busker Gusto B178-G Volcanic Blue is an exceptional piece of craftsmanship that combines precision engineering with artistic flair. This custom-made folding knife is designed for knife enthusiasts who value performance, aesthetics, and exclusivity. Proudly handmade in the USA, the Busker Gusto is part of Olamic Cutlery's renowned lineup, known for producing high-quality, limited-run custom knives that are both functional and collectible.
The blade of this stunning knife is made from Bohler M390 stainless steel, a premium steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. With a 2.37-inch Gusto blade, it offers precision cutting in a compact form, making it ideal for everyday carry (EDC) tasks. The blade is finished with a sleek satin polish, enhancing its overall appearance while providing a smooth cutting edge for efficient performance. Whether you're slicing, dicing, or performing delicate tasks, the Busker Gusto’s blade is designed to handle it all with ease.
One of the standout features of the Olamic Busker Gusto is its deployment mechanism. This knife is a front flipper, which allows for fast, smooth, and one-handed blade deployment. The addition of a thumb hole provides an alternative method for opening the knife, giving users versatility in how they choose to engage the blade. The deployment is further enhanced by a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot, ensuring a fluid and seamless opening action that adds to the knife's overall functionality and ease of use.
The volcanic blue washed titanium handles are truly a work of art. Olamic's attention to detail is evident in the carefully sculpted handles, which not only offer a striking visual aesthetic but also provide an ergonomic grip that feels comfortable in hand. The volcanic blue finish gives the knife a distinct look that stands out while maintaining a refined, modern appeal. The titanium construction offers lightweight durability, making the knife both sturdy and easy to carry.
In addition to the stunning handles, the knife is adorned with anodized blue hardware, a blue washed titanium backbar, and a blue washed titanium pocket clip. These cohesive design elements further enhance the knife's luxurious appearance, creating a unified color scheme that flows seamlessly from one component to the next. The pocket clip is equipped with a ceramic glider ball, making it easy to attach the knife securely to your pocket while minimizing wear and tear on your clothing.
Despite its robust construction, the Olamic Busker Gusto remains lightweight at only 2.99oz, making it easy to carry on a daily basis without feeling cumbersome. When closed, the knife measures 3.5 inches, allowing it to fit comfortably in a pocket or bag, ready for action when needed.
As a framelock knife, the Busker Gusto provides a secure locking mechanism that ensures the blade stays firmly in place during use. This framelock is designed for safety and reliability, giving you confidence whether you're using the knife for simple everyday tasks or more demanding cutting applications.
To top off this already exceptional knife, Olamic includes a certificate of authenticity, signifying the knife's custom-made origins and limited production. Each knife is unique, a reflection of Olamic’s commitment to creating one-of-a-kind pieces that collectors and knife enthusiasts cherish. Additionally, the black zippered Olamic Custom carry case offers a stylish and protective storage solution, perfect for safekeeping or travel.
