Fred Perrin is a Parisian custom knifemaker, a former
French Army Commando and a world ranked martial artist. His Street Beat
fixed-blade knife reflects all three influences. Handle and blade are
roughly equal weight. Where they join is a deep finger choil doubling as
a hand guard. This spot marks the location of a balance point, sometimes
referred to as a sweet-spot, making the knife noticeably responsive in
the hand. It’s constructed from a full-length piece of steel set between
Micarta handle scales. The scales are double pinned, expanding
three-dimensionally on both ends offering the hand exceptional grip. The
VG-10 clip point blade is double flat-ground with crosshatching called
jimping on its spine that creates texture therefore tactile resistance
against the skin of the hand and keeping the knife firmly in grip. There
are two lanyard holes, a traditionally positioned handle lanyard and a
small lanyard hole through the blade. Looping a thong or cord through
the blade lanyard keeps your hand positioned forward on the handle even
when swinging or chopping. The Street Beat comes in a black Bolataron
sheath with G-Clip multi-position belt fastener.
