SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Olamic Busker Semper B647-S Dark Blast Mokume is a stunningly designed, handcrafted folding knife that embodies both elegance and practicality. This compact, premium-grade knife is built for everyday carry while maintaining the meticulous craftsmanship that Olamic is renowned for. Proudly made in the USA, this model combines high-end materials, smooth functionality, and a striking aesthetic to create a tool that any knife enthusiast would be proud to own.
At the heart of the Busker Semper is its 2.37" Bohler M390 stainless steel Semper blade, which is widely regarded as one of the finest knife steels available. Bohler M390 is known for its superior edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for both everyday use and more demanding cutting tasks. The blade features a satin finish, giving it a sleek, reflective surface that complements the knife's overall design while ensuring durability.
The Semper blade style—a modified drop point—offers a highly functional shape that is well-suited for slicing, cutting, and piercing tasks. Its versatility makes it perfect for a range of everyday cutting needs. The blade's compact size, combined with the precision of the steel, allows for control and finesse during use, making it as practical as it is visually appealing.
Opening the knife is an enjoyable experience thanks to its front flipper mechanism and thumb hole, which provide smooth, fidget-friendly deployment. This combination of opening methods offers versatility, allowing the user to deploy the blade quickly with either hand. The caged ceramic ball bearing pivot ensures that the blade opens smoothly and locks into place securely, providing a flawless action every time.
The handle is one of the standout features of the Busker Semper. The Dark Blast titanium handles offer a sleek and modern appearance while also providing incredible strength and lightweight durability. Titanium is known for its corrosion resistance and toughness, ensuring that the handle will stand up to daily wear and tear without sacrificing comfort. The fileworked backbar, with its two-tone finish, adds an extra touch of craftsmanship and attention to detail, elevating the overall aesthetic of the knife.
Further enhancing the luxurious look of the Busker Semper is the oversized Mokume tip-up pocket clip. Mokume, a material created by layering different metals, adds a distinctive pattern and color contrast to the knife, making each piece unique. The Mokume clip, combined with the bronze anodized hardware, adds rich, warm tones to the otherwise sleek, dark-blasted handle, creating a visual balance between modern and classic elements.
The framlock mechanism provides a secure locking system, ensuring the blade remains firmly in place during use while allowing for easy one-handed closure. This design is both practical and reliable, making the knife a dependable tool for everyday carry.
With a closed length of 3.5" and a total weight of 2.99oz, the Olamic Busker Semper is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry in your pocket or bag without taking up much space. Despite its compact size, the knife feels sturdy in hand, with excellent ergonomics that ensure comfort during use.
Each Olamic Busker Semper comes with a certificate of authenticity, which highlights the knife’s handcrafted nature and ensures that each piece is a genuine, one-of-a-kind creation. This attention to detail and authenticity adds to the collectible nature of the knife. To protect your knife when not in use, Olamic also includes a high-quality zippered nylon carry case, perfect for safe storage or transport.
In summary, the Olamic Busker Semper B647-S Dark Blast Mokume is a masterfully crafted folding knife that merges functionality with high-end materials and striking design.
