Remarkable about the MKM Clap is that you open it with the flipper. Because of the ball bearings around the pivot it will open quickly. Looking for a knife that won’t open so fast? No worries, simply remove the flipper. After all, this knife comes with a torx key with a cover screw. As such the MKM Clap suddenly becomes a knife you open with two hands making it legal in many places in Europe.

The shape of the blade is breath-taking. A drop point shape with harpoon fin on the spine and a compound grind with fuller. Quite the mouth full, but in reality it is a combination of cool shapes and features you rarely see together. The blade is made from Böhler M390 steel. This is a type of steel that retains its sharpness well and is incredibly wear-resistant. It is also very stainless. One of the most popular choices at the moment. When opened the blade is locked by a liner lock. Stunning details are the blue collar around the pivot, the blue back spacer and the blue pocket clip. Stunning.

This version has a handle made from Green Canvas Micarta with titanium bolsters.
