This is the biggest I've ever made...7mm thick RWL34 blade...and there's some design details that maybe are innovative, you tell me...

Now, the items I think maybe are innovative:
First, the framelock cut doesn't need to be made with a milling or waterjet machine and it's pretty damn easy to be made:

Second, the clip is attached on lockbar, so when the knife is opened, the clip remains hidden:

So, what you guys think? Despite the fact some of you don't like big tacticals that much, neither the fact that recurve/kukri/tanto blade isn't that easy to resharpen, do you think this "front framelock" and hidden clip is some innovative or maybe I'm not updated enough?
Thanks in advance, thanks for looking too!
 
The blade shape is a little weird for me. But, that looks like one tough sonovagun. I like it.
 
omg, i rarely say this with as much earnestness as i am about to do,

but way, way cool, innovative, awesome lines, great idea on the lock bar interface, and really very neat with the clip...

!!!
 
innovative=yes
very very cool:cool::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
Gus, ABSOLUTELY "FRIGGING" AWESOME :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:!!!


-ROOK-
 
Gus, I keep coming back to look at that knife, and am more impressed every time. I love your innovations; the front frame lock & hidden clip. Way, way cool!
 
The blade shape is'nt my style but I like the handle. Gus you're always thinking outside the box. The clip may be a good idea, (depends on how it feels in the pocket). :thumbup:
 
Very cool, I like the clip on the lock, and although the blade doesn't appeal to me, the grinds are outstanding!
 
Thanks guys for the words. I'll make another folder for Blade Show, same front framelock and clip config, but smaller, with a useful clip point blade.
 
I once saw an old Electrolux vacuum cleaner in a fine art display. I think it may have been designed by Raymond Lowey.


I'm not a big fan of thick blades, but as a metal sculpture, that knife is successful as a work of art. I could see that in somebody's contemporary art collection.
 
Mark me down for one. Love how that knife has all the ergonomical grip points like that of the one on the back of the blade.
 
and rubbin tese multiple rinds sold ave bee a real pain, buddy!
Very cool desin!
