another member of the applegate-fairbairn family Colonel Rex Applegate is a recognized expert in close combat. The Applegate-Fairbairn knife series is the result of the Colonel's years of experience. They have earned the status of legends among tactical knives. All are constructed in Oregon, USA. Although the Applegate-Fairbairn Combat Folder is a closing knife, it can easily compete with fixed blade knives in terms of quality and strength. The blade is in the Applegate-Fairbairn design and is easy to open thanks to the ambidextrous thumb stud. It's shaped like a spearpoint and has two blades, the lower of which is a combination blade that will cut through just about anything. The blade is, of course, secured against spontaneous opening or closing while working. A linerlock and a secondary leverlock take care of that. The textured handle made of fibreglass-reinforced nylon ensures a really firm and secure grip and perfect handling in all conditions.
