Design
This Vanguard series Gemini flipper is a Ray Laconico designed folding knife based on his custom Jasmine folder. The build on this production model is superb, offering great fit and excellent action.
N690 Steel
The Vanguard Gemini has a full-flat ground Bohler N690 steel blade with a fine stonewash finish. It's set on a ball-bearing pivot, which offers phenomenal action. The N690 comes razor-sharp in a nice drop-point blade shape.
Black Micarta Handle
The handle on this model is black micarta over a skeletonized stainless steel liner and lock tab. A micarta backspacer adds a nice touch, and it also provides non-slip even when your hand is wet.
