It has a hollow ground Böhler M390 sheepsfoot blade that sports a discrete flipper tab with jimping. The Slimfoot is a frame-lock flipper built off the combination of 6AL4V titanium and electric blue peel-ply G10. It’s a wild time, as we’re seeing some of the best products, for work and play, anyone has ever experienced.
That’s the awesome reality about engineering and manufacturing in the 21st century - you get to work out all the kinks on your computer. Designers toiled over every detail before anything even materialized. This knife is dripping with modern aesthetics. It’s modern, it’s precise, and it uses some of the best materials available in the market today.Ĭheck Price at Blade HQ Arcform Slimfoot Knife Review Design & Features (Photo/Nick LeFort) In short: With the Slimfoot, you’re getting an amalgamation of form and function that enhances the overall user experience. Who knows, maybe the Slimfoot will end up being your next EDC? No, it wasn’t by a campfire, but only because the weather has not been cooperative.Īfter 3 weeks of using and abusing the Slimfoot, overcoming one of its quirks, and generally admiring its design, I felt it was high time to share my findings. It’s a rugged knife that easily fits into the “premium” category, not only due to its incredible design and build, but also because of the use of peel-pry G10 and Böhler M390 steel - the cream of the crop. The minute I saw Arcform’s Slimfoot, I knew someone spent hours staring at a computer screen to reach the end result, which is just as wonderful to look at as it is to use as an EDC knife.ĭesigned by Geoff Blauvelt, and built by Reate Knives, the Slimfoot will fit in comfortably in a machine shop, at a drafting table, or stirring your coffee in the morning by last night’s campfire embers. The giveaway is that the breaks in surfaces are always perfectly parallel or perpendicular.
As both an engineer and a knifemaker, it’s not hard for me to spot something that’s been designed in a digital 3D environment.
