This is a very early Turning Interlocking Cube, in fact it was designed before that became a commonly used term. At the IPP Washington in 2012 Ken brought along many of his novel cube designs and this design was among them.
It’s a 4x4 TIC featuring 5 pieces with a level move count of 4.1.4.4 with rotation and is crafted from Mahogany by the Pelikan Workshop that was reorganized following the sudden tragic death of Josef Pelikan in 2005.
Longtime fellow puzzler Bernhard Schweitzer aided the Pelikan Workshop in restarting their puzzling endeavours and currently are the premier craftsmen producing high quality wood puzzles.
This particular copy is one that I had gifted my Son Kyle and had forgotten about it, it’s a very cool puzzle that was ahead of its time although now eclipsed by many of the newer TIC’s.
