COLDSTEEL OYABUN

FOR YEARS WE HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT MAKING A FOLDING KNIFE THAT CLOSELY EMULATES OUR FAMOUS TANTO. ANDREW DEMKO WORKED ON THE PROBLEM, AND WITH LYNN THOMPSON'S INPUT, A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION WAS DISCOVERED. THE RESULT IS WHAT WE OFFER HERE, THE OYABUN! IT INCORPORATES A REINFORCED BLADE POINT, A HIGH SATIN POLISH, EXPERT HEAT TREATMENT (RC57 AND SUB-ZERO QUENCHED), AND THE KIND OF STUNNINGLY SHARP EDGE COLD STEEL'S REPUTATION WAS FOUNDED UPON. FURTHERMORE, IT IS EQUIPPED WITH AN INTEGRAL FLIPPER FOR EFFORTLESS OPENING, AND A (PATENT PENDING) LEAF SPRING LOCK AND SAFETY. THE LOCK/SAFETY ON THE OYABUN WAS FIRST UTILIZED IN OUR CRAWFORD 1 FOLDER AND HAS PROVED TO BE QUITE TOUGH AND RELIABLE. THE 4034 STAINLESS STEEL BLADE IS HOUSED IN A STRONG, ECONOMICAL HANDLE THAT'S REINFORCED WITH STAINLESS STEEL LINERS. THE HANDLE IS INJECTION MOLDED WITH A GRIV-EX™ FOUNDATION AND THEN OVER MOLDED WITH SOFT, CHECKERED KRAY-EX™ FASTENED TO THE FRAME WITH TWO ROBUST BOLTS." - LYNN THOMPSON
