Hello,
as you know, I really enjoy making scagel style hunting knifes.
Beside my fixed blades, I allways dreamed about making a scagel inspired pocket knife, now, I would like to show you the results.
In the year 2010, working on the pivot of a micromotor, I came across the idea, to use a little bearing on the pivot of a pocket knife, to reduce friction and wear and to allow a smooth opening.
So I started working on the first model to see what's possible.
After a 5 month long lasting paper war with the patent office (loads of bureaucracy here in spain) I got finally the patent with option to prolongate up to 10 years.
I tried to sell the patent to spyderco and muela, but at the end, I decided to produce them by myself for some of my customers.
After uncounted prorotypes with backspring and other systems, I decided on a backspring and blade from 52100, 8cm long.
7cm edge, 3,25mm thick, liners from 1.5mm brass.
Opened ca. 18,5cm.
Weight, about a 130 / 140gr.
Saludos
Rodrigo
