Flavio Ikoma's latest folding knife looks like a T-rex on stainless steel steroids. The Fossil™ is one part hardcore, one part gorgeous and one part 12,000 pound flesh-eating dinosaur.
The Fossil™ combines the best from designer Flavio Ikoma. With styling cues found on his previous Sampa™ and Carajas™ models, the Fossil™ ramps up the artistic flair to create a piece that is clearly Ikoma, yet distinctively a new breed of EDC folder.
The pocket knife features an IKBS ball bearing system, combined with an opening flipper for silky smooth blade deployment. The flipper turns into a handsome finger guard when the blade is open. A thumb hole cutout in the blade gives you a second option for opening the knife. The handles of the Fossil™ are stainless steel with a unique hammer finish. The knife locks open solidly with a frame lock. Duo-tone G10 scales add contour and grip to the handle. The pocket clip is tip-up carry only.
The Fossil™ has the beauty of a museum piece combined with the shear muscle of a prehistoric carnivore.
8Cr Stainless Steel
One of the most common budget stainless steels, it maintains a competitive combination of edge retention and toughness in its price range.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
G10 Handles
Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.
Frame Lock
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.

Columbia River CRKT 5460 Fossil Small Flipper 3.41" Satin Plain Blade, Stainless Steel and G10 Handles
This has been my daily personal carry knife for the last 3 years and I absolutely love it. The action on the knife is smooth and lasting. The blade keeps its edge better than almost any other knife I have, especially considering how often I use this knife and for how many different uses. I've boned out elk, trimmed meat, opened boxes, and cut paper with this knife. I have abused it. And usually just a simple honing rod will make it as good as new. I did end up putting a 17 degree angle on mine (personal preference) and it's held well for over 2 years. I'd recommend this knife to anyone. I do like the smaller version (the 5460) than the larger one for daily carry. I've also had to tighten the screws up quite a few times. Ended up putting some loctite on the clip screws.

I am a long time knife collector an d this knife has excellent workmanship and detail which is not seen in a lot of knives today. The quality is excellent and You American manufacturers better wake up before you loose a place in the market.

Terrible clip
The knife itself is great. The clip however bent on the first day. It fell out of my pocket today so I just lost my knife. Not too happy about that. I would recommend the knife but be cautious of the clip.
