STR Customized Tasman

Post by The Deacon »

Just picked this up "second hand" off the BF Exchange. Bit of a departure from my normal tastes but a really piece of work by STR, and I thought the pictures turned out fairly decent...

Its a pretty light weight folder. I know Paul probably just had to get that in the mail because I know the guy that had it for sale.

Some of the aluminum folders I did really turned out quite nice in my opinion. That one was one of them.

Thanks guys! The handle, as Steve noted, is aluminum. The clip is titanium. Weight is 85 grams on my scale. For comparsion a standard FRN Tasman, CF Harpy, G-10 Harpy, and SS Harpy weigh 56, 76, 88, and 108 grams, respectively, on the same scale.
