FABLADES

The Brian Fellhoelter & Jeremy Horton FTR is a standout collaboration between two of the industry’s most respected custom makers. This specific “Full Dress” build combines Fellhoelter’s flawless folder engineering with Horton’s legendary “Platinum” grind, resulting in a piece that is as much a high-performance tactical tool as it is a collector’s masterpiece.

Specialized Blade: 6K and the Horton Grind

The most significant feature of this FTR is the specialized blade construction:

• 6K “Steel” (Stellite 6K): Despite being referred to as steel, 6K is actually a cobalt-base alloy containing zero iron. It is non-magnetic, rust-proof, and offers industry-leading abrasion resistance. Because it stays sharp by exposing microscopic carbides as it wears, it is famous for a “toothy” edge that seems to get sharper with use.

• The Horton Grind: Jeremy Horton is world-renowned for his right-hand chisel grind. This geometry creates a devastatingly sharp edge that is exceptionally easy to maintain.

• Armor-Piercing Tip: The blade features a mirrored, reinforced tip (often called a “Penetrator” or “Armor-Piercing” tip). This high-polish finish on the tip provides a striking visual contrast to the primary grind while offering extreme structural strength for piercing tasks.

Full Dress Aesthetics

• Boomerang Mokuti Presentation Scale: The show side of the knife is a solid slab of Boomerang Mokuti (Titanium Damascus). This material is heat-treated to reveal a complex, rippling pattern of vibrant blues and purples, ensuring no two FTRs are identical.

• Titanium Frame-Lock: The lock side is a robust Titanium frame, providing the “bank-vault” lockup and weight-saving benefits Fellhoelter is known for.

• Precision Action: Fellhoelter’s folders are celebrated for their hydraulic, smooth deployment. This FTR typically runs on phosphor bronze washers, providing a reliable, dirt-resistant action that is favored by tactical purists.

Technical Specifications

• Blade Length: Approximately 3.50″.

• Overall Length: Approximately 8.125″.

• Condition: New from the maker, meaning the mirrored tip is pristine and the Mokuti colors are at their maximum factory vibrancy.

• Maker Marks: The knife is typically signed with both the “BF” (Fellhoelter) and “H” (Horton) logos.
