2012 HTM Forum Gunhammer: *Commitment/Sign-up* thread

There will be pictures in a few months, I'm sure Are we done yet? Can we confirm we're doing a run of 35?

 

35 on the button??? Maybe it's a sign...

 

So... When and how do we pay?

 

So, what is the next step in this great adventure? How many times have a group of forum members designed a semi-custom knife? This is just the coolest thing. If we could post pictures of the knives at each step of manufacture, that would be great. Perhaps Darrel could use the photo sequence on the HTM web site - I don't know of any other manufacturer site with a photo sequence of knives in progress. On the other hand, this might give out too many trade secrets. I think it would ease the buyer's anxiety to see blade blanks, ground blades, scale blanks, machined scales and final assembly. This is a rare opportunity, so I think we need to make the most out of it.

 

You know what would be sick?? Showing a video from start to finish on how the knife was made, and in the video, show the serial number for the specific owners video, being etched into the blade.

 

Really excited guys!

Come to papa S90V.

 

I am pumped about this one. I have bought 3 other knives this week in my excitement! better chill out or the boss will use one of them on me!

Just lemme know how to proceed with downpayment.

 

WooHoo! The suspense is building. We need details. Lots of facts. I support the suggestion of a video. I may get the old Bali-Song out just to get used to the feel of S90v cutting everything in its path. Mainly fingers. I'm ready - lets give it a go.

 

Yep, can't wait to get this knife. I've tried calling HTM a couple times to put in a payment, but keep getting voicemail. I guess I'll just wait.

 

I don't care either way about the progress pictures. I just want him to do his thing with no pressure. I like WIP's as much as the next guy, though.

 

Agree all the way on every detail with this. Darrel's a busy guy, so I don't want him to have any extra pressure. But WIP's are cool.

 

I have a question.

Is there any way we can get them without thumb studs?

Considering they are flipper knives , I WOULD LOVE to see them without thumb studs. It looks like they also function as blade stops but the auto GHs don't have them and I think it looks much cleaner.

 

You make an interesting point. I don't care for studs if it has the flipper, but we may get the universal "save it for a custom" response. I am easy to please and like the knife either way, but I will admit to the autos being very sleek looking without the studs.

Good question scurvy, let's see where this goes. I imagine Hark or Neuron will chime in soon.

 

Sexy thumbstudless GH for people to see what I'm lusting over:

 

We be in contact soon to get this in stone.

DDR.

 

Good news. Thank you!

 

Oh man. Thanks for chiming in. There is definitely a lot of excitement surrounding this knife.

We look forward to getting all the details worked out, and thank you to DDR, Neuron and Hark for doing all of this.
