★ Flip Knife | Stained (Factory New)

Flip knives sport a Persian-style back-swept blade with an acute point. While the point itself may be fragile, the overall design of the flip knife's design is surprisingly durable. It has been given a forced patina using lemon and mustard dripped onto the surface. If you think it's messy now, wait until you see it under a blacklight
