FABLADES

The Randy Doucette Seeker V2 is a high-performance custom flipper that showcases Doucette’s mastery of “aggressive elegance.” As the second iteration of the Seeker platform, the V2 refines the ergonomics and aesthetics of the original, leaning into a more streamlined profile while maintaining the hand-ground soul Doucette is famous for.

Elite Finishes & Materials

This specific Seeker V2 is a “Full Dress” variation, emphasizing vibrant anodization and premium steel:

• The Blade: Crafted from CPM S90V with a hand-rubbed satin finish. S90V is an elite super-steel known for having some of the highest wear resistance in the industry. The hand-rubbed finish is a signature of high-end customs, providing a clean, directional grain that is far more refined than machine-satin.

• Timascus Accents: The Timascus pocket clip provides a swirling “oil-slick” visual pop, contrasting against the monochromatic frames.

• Jewel-Tone Anodization: The titanium pivot collars are mirror-polished and anodized purple, while the titanium backspacer is mirror-polished and anodized blue. This creates a high-gloss, jewelry-like contrast against the matte satin frames.

Precision Engineering

• Satin-Finished Frames: The titanium frames feature a fine satin finish, providing a modern, industrial look that is comfortable in the hand.

• Frame-Lock Mechanics: The knife features a secure 25% lockup, which is considered ideal for a new custom—providing a solid engagement with plenty of room for decades of wear.

• Action: Randy Doucette is known for “rocketing” deployment. Every blade is hand-ground freehand on hollow grinding wheels, ensuring a geometry that is as functional as it is visually striking.

Condition Report

This piece is New from Maker and remains in pristine collector condition:

• Blade Centering: Perfect.

• Mechanical Integrity: No lock stick, lock rock, or detent play.

About the Maker

Randy Doucette is a self-taught maker based in Ontario, Canada, with a background in Tool and Die machining. He is one of the few top-tier makers who still performs all grinding and shaping by hand on a belt sander rather than using CNC. Because each Seeker V2 is a one-off build, no two are exactly alike, making this a unique acquisition for any serious collector.
