Handle Material: Titanium Back Spacer: Titanium Blade Steel: N690 Blade Length: 3.0" OAL: 6.75" https://knifenews.com/gareth-bull-crafts-more-affordable-version-of-popular-front-flipper/ “The Field Grade Shamwari is our ‘back to basics,’ hard use version – the essence of Shamwari, if you will,” Bull tells us. “We wanted to create a version that owners would be more likely to use and carry as opposed to being a safe queen.” He explains that there are four major differences between the Field Grade and the standard model. A Field Grade model has chamfered slab scales rather than contoured ones, and N690 blade steel rather than M390 or Damasteel. Furthermore, its blade sports a stonewash instead of satin finish, and the pivot uses phosphor bronze washers in place of caged bearings. The result is a Shamwari that can cost hundreds less than ‘classic’ versions. “Otherwise the knives are effectively the same,” Bull continues. “The radiused spine, swedge, front flipper and deep carry clip all feature on both versions. Both are great options and everybody has their personal preference between the two.” In fact, despite the implication in the name, the Field Grade Shamwari is still a custom knife, made by Bull in his Gordonsbaai, South Africa shop. Some users have not been able to tell the difference between the two at a glance. “I’m really pleased by this as it means we managed to retain enough of what makes them Shamwaris,” Bull says.
