SHOP CASE KNIVESOlamic Cutlery’s Whippersnapper is a folding knife that merges cutting-edge materials with exceptional craftsmanship, tailored for those who demand both style and performance. The blade is crafted from satin-finished CTS XHP steel in a Sheepsfoot design, renowned for its superior edge retention and versatility. Measuring 2.5 inches, this blade provides precise control and durability, making it perfect for a wide range of cutting tasks.
The handle of the Whippersnapper is constructed from titanium, featuring a special Dark Blast anodized finish that combines rugged strength with a striking appearance. This finish enhances the handle’s resilience against wear and tear while giving it a bold, dark look that complements the knife's overall aesthetic. The scales are made from Fedokume layered steel, a material developed by Olamic Cutlery to offer a unique and functional alternative to traditional fancy metals like timascus and mokume. As Olamic Cutlery describes it, "...the idea was to have our own in-house “fancy metal" akin to timascus, mokume, and the like. But we wanted it to stand out and, of course, on top of that the material had to be actually usable. Sometime in 2017 we succeeded and the result was dubbed Fedokume."
Weighing just 3.3 ounces, the Whippersnapper is designed for everyday carry without compromising on strength. The high-polished 6Al-4V titanium bolsters, pocket clip, hardware, and backspacer match the handle’s finish, providing a cohesive, refined look. The bolster lock mechanism ensures secure operation, while the thumb hole allows for smooth, one-handed deployment.
Proudly made in the USA, the Whippersnapper embodies Olamic Cutlery’s dedication to quality and innovation, making it a standout piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
