Flavio Ikoma's latest folding knife looks like a T-rex on stainless steel steroids. The Fossil™ is one part hard core, 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 5470 Fossil Flipper 3.96" Satin Plain Blade, Stainless Steel and G10 Handles
I have owned 2 of the CRKT Fossil Model 5470's The blade holds a good edge and I love the look and feel of the knife. I have had only 1 issue with this knife and that is the belt or pocket clip. It will loose its memory, as in spring, very easy. The way it is designed the clip become very weak and will spring out and then it holds nothing as far as staying in your pocket. I have reached out to CRKT knives and they sent me a replacement part with screws and it did the same thing over time. It easily gets snagged on your seat belt getting in and out of a vehicle or anything for that matter. If you spring it out the metal will not return to its normal position. I guess as long as you are careful and never get snagged on anything, you won't have an issue. But it happens before you know it. Otherwise, its a great knife.

I bought this knife just to have something I could pull out of my pocket easily & open quickly, with a decent guard to prevent my hand from sliding if I was fighting with someone. The grip looks a little strange but it actually works well to give you a good grip. Idk how the blade would stand up to repeated use, but it is very sharp and it seems to be a good quality metal. You CAN get this knife for about ten bucks less than on this site, but I believe it's good to support smaller companies so I recommend buying it here. I wish I had bought mine here for that reason but I was in a hurry to get it. It opens up beautifully and locks in place perfectly.
