1 of 9 Whale shark

[stabber]

Just got this beauty in. It's a 1 of 9 made Whale Shark.
Double Vapor Blade with OD Green Canvas Micarta. Pretty Sick!!:thumbup:

 

[CrimsonTideShooter]

That's 1 of 9? There are like 6 custom whale sharks at my local shop, and he's expecting more. I'm confused.

Granted, they aren't micarta. They're LSCF and CF.

I swear that thumbstud is as wide as the spyderhole on my military.

 

[Shorttime]

Does that thumbstud give you problems? I only have one knife with a large diameter stud, and that was the reason I put it away. Couldn't open the darn thing...

 

[stabber]

It's a 1 of 9 run with the OD green canvas micarta. Yes there are carbon fiber ones produced as well

You can zip it open quickly with the large thumb stud. But it's a flipper design so.........

 

[Pete2s]

Does it have ball bearings or regular washers?

 

[jeffa]

I really like the look of these. Nice knife. waht do you think of the quality now that you can play with it?

Hey Ricky, do you have any info on this "double vapor blade"? Is it the finish? I've never heard of it before. Thanks, bud.

 

[bladeboss]

that looks sick. it would be a safe-queen if i owned it. hahaha

 

[timberweasel]

Very nice, sir! Love the scales and the blade-sweep...

May we see pics of it closed as well?

What do you get when you combine a ZT 777, a Spyderco Lum Chinese, and a certain someone who's determined to run the family business into the ground?

 

[harkamus]

I'm not digging the anorexic handle. I like the backspacer though.

 

[volthause]

That is pretty sweet.

 

[razorsdescent]

Gorgeous gorgeous knife. Safe queen for sure in my eyes.

 

[leatherman]

Thanks gang!

[Tony8179]

Thanks gang!

Gotcha, thanks Ricky. They must use a very fine media. I gotta admit that it looks good. A very light and even finish. The contrast is nice.

When I first saw this particular model, I was reminded of a (last I heard) discontinued flipper Warren Thomas used to offer. Its not as glitzy as this one but the lines are pretty similar. Warren called his model whale shark.

But its not like microtech would knowingly rip off someone else's design that happened to have the same pretty unusual name.

Oh. Wait a minute....
