The Yan Knives EMW (East Meets West) Double Flipper Folding Knife is a striking fusion of innovation, craftsmanship, and high-performance materials. Designed by Andrew Do in a special collaboration with Reate Knives, this SMKW-exclusive model combines aesthetic brilliance with unparalleled functionality. Its head-turning dual-bladed design sets it apart from conventional folders, offering both versatility and show-stopping appeal for collectors and knife enthusiasts alike.
At the heart of the EMW are two 3" Bohler M390 stainless steel blades, each independently deployed using its own precision-engineered blade flipper. M390 is renowned for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness, making these blades capable of handling rigorous cutting tasks while maintaining their pristine performance over time. The dual-framelock design ensures each blade locks securely in place, providing confidence and safety with every use.
The handles are bead-blasted titanium, providing both strength and lightweight durability, and feature exclusive Arctic Storm FatCarbon inlays in black and blue swirls. This combination of materials not only reinforces the frame but also gives the knife its unique, high-contrast visual appeal. Each handle is sculpted for comfort and control, allowing users to confidently wield either blade without sacrificing balance or grip.
Measuring 4.5" closed, the EMW maintains a compact profile despite its dual-blade design, making it surprisingly practical for everyday carry. It also comes complete with a microfiber cleaning cloth, Yan Knives-branded stickers, and a custom black leather sheath accented with blue stitching, providing both storage and protection while highlighting the knife’s distinctive style.
From its precise action to its high-end materials, the Yan Knives EMW is engineered to impress both visually and functionally. Every detail, from the smooth flipper deployment to the secure framelock engagement, speaks to the exceptional craftsmanship and design philosophy behind this exclusive folder. Whether admired as a collector’s piece or used as a reliable tool, the EMW Double Flipper offers a rare blend of utility and artistry that sets it apart in the world of folding knives.
