Timberline's Kickstart is the result of a Charlie Ochs and Butch Vallotton design collaboration. This assisted opening tactical folder employs Vallotton's lightning fast/super smooth assist mechanism to deploy the blade to the locked position with authority. Charles Ochs' classic "black knife" handle and blade design has been the tactical performance standard to the special operations community for decades. The 3.25" blade is constructed of AUS-8A stainless steel, then bead-blasted with black matte Teflon coating. Timberline's Kickstart utilizes a rugged dual stainless steel liner construction with ribbed Zytel handle scales to provide a sure, comfortable grip.
