What is the NM folder (sometimes referred to as the XL SnG)?
The NM folder is a Mick Strider Custom frame lock folder. Mick Strider has made between 10-12 NM folders and 4 Lefty NM folders.
The NM folder has been made in three different blade profiles (Nightmare Tanto, Recurve and Nightmare Spearpoint) and three different materials (S30V, Stellite 6k and Damascus).
The G10 is hand grooved and some of the NM folders have Textured Ti.
The NM folder should not be confused with other Mick Strider Customs that have the Nightmare grind which are sometime referred to with the NM designation.
