So here they are, second generation of my tactical fixed knives - Alpha II.

I've made only a few pieces in this batch. It tooks me few months of machining, grinding and hand finishing of all those little details (screws, jimping, hidden lanyard pins etc.) but it was totally worth it...

Materials:
- M390 blades - vacuum HT with cryo to 60-61 HRC
- Black G10 handle - 3D textured
- Custom stainless steel screws based on unique design
- Titanium lanyard pin

Dimensions:
- 255 mm / 10" overall length
- 116 mm / 4,5' blade length
- 19 mm / 0,75" overall thickness
- 4 mm / 0,16" blade thickness

Every knife comes with finest kydex sheath made by Piotr Okonski.

What do you think?

I think it's great.....I very much enjoy the watch-like craftsmanship of my Gen I.....extraordinary. :cool:

A Gen II would be a splendid addition... ;)
 
doesn't happen very often anymore where I see a knife that I gotta have, I think it's a combination of being picky and not particularly 'upwardly mobile'. Anyway, looking forward to checking the mailbox over the next couple weeks
 
recently came into a little unexpected reward for my work, and decided to spread it around a little bit :)











this is a very cool knife. It's handle heavy and floats in your hand, the tip is very easy to control. Formidable defensive blade
