Lee Williams / JB Stout Collaboration Kickstop Blood And Thunder

One of the most acclaimed makers in the world, his knives are endlessly sought after. He’s credited with the invention of the Kickstop mechanism, a retractable tab that facilitates a smooth and snappy flipping action, but hides itself within the handle upon deployment. Williams is best-known for his contributions to the evolution of flippers, and nearly all of his knives feature one.
