Kwaiken Flipper Appraisal

Todd Begg Knives Steelcraft Series Kwaiken Flipper Knife

This item is a tactical-style folding knife, specifically identified as a model from the Todd Begg Knives Steelcraft Series, likely a Kwaiken Flipper, based on the blade shape and markings. The blade is constructed from a satin-finished stainless steel, featuring a prominent 'Todd Begg Knives Steelcraft Series' logo etched near the ricasso, alongside what appears to be a smaller signature or model designation 'HBK' or similar, slightly faded. The blade exhibits a strong, sharp point and a flat grind on both sides of the main cutting edge. A distinctive feature is the series of six small, round, raised pins or inserts along the spine of the blade immediately adjacent to the handle, which might be a aesthetic or functional element such as jimping for grip or a decorative inlay. The handle scales, visible at the pivot end, are matte dark green or black, likely G10 or a similar composite material, secured by hex-head screws. A robust, polished silver-colored pocket clip is attached to the handle with three smaller hex-head screws, indicating right-hand tip-up carry. The main pivot screw is a larger, domed hex-head screw. The overall condition appears good with minor signs of use on the blade surface, consistent with light carry or handling rather than heavy wear. The craftsmanship suggests a high-quality, precision-manufactured production knife, designed for durability and functionality.
