Brown Knives FSD #247 Full Size Model
The Brown Knives FSD #247 combines a full-size tactical folder profile with refined American machining. The 3.75″ drop point blade is made from CPM-154 and finished with a stonewashed hollow hand-ground satin treatment. The blade shape is broad, clean, and purposeful, giving the knife strong cutting utility while maintaining the premium finish collectors want in a Brown Knives piece.
The handle is fully machined titanium with Milling Style #3 across the frame. The matching stonewashed titanium pocket clip and backspacer keep the design cohesive from every angle. The vertical milling gives the frame strong texture and visual rhythm without making the knife feel overdone. It is simple, mechanical, and very precise.
