Canadian knife maker Brian Tighe is a true Renaissance Man, with an array of professional skills including tool and die making, metallurgy, engraving and photography.

The injection-molded black glass filled nylon scales have a carbon fiber texture. Torx fasteners are used throughout. All models have bronze and lubrous washers at the adjustable blade pivot for fast action.
Dual ramped thumb studs allow the MY Tighe to be quickly opened with either hand, and a removable black stainless steel pocket/gear clip.
