Muela TW Folder

Model: Muela TW-8G

This is one of my favorite. I have been handling too many tactical themed folding knives which are all either black, coyote or other dark colors. Yes, those are very practical.

But after a while, folder, as shown here, looks very appealing to me. It has a squarish patterned green micarta handle and a slightly aggressive blade shape. It strikes a balance between classic and tactical folding knife. 

Take note, this folder has to be opened with 2 hands, as it does not have a thumb stud. (Which would spoil the blade design in this case I think.)
