An unusual design, the Buy Tighe utilizes double Klecker Locks. This is basically a double lockback with blades that open with a flipper.

Both blades are easily opened with one hand with a simple flick utilizing the flipper.
The precision milled titanium handle frame has been coated with bright blue Ti-Nitride and then ground and polished to a high satin finish. The result is a beautiful two-tone handle. The 3-1/2″ blades are 154-CM stainless at 59-61 Rc., with a fine satin finish. The primary blade is marked CRKT 20 years.
Measures 5″ closed and weighs 6.0 oz. Includes a beautiful mirrored Plexiglas box that allows the knife to be safely displayed on your desk with the blades open.
