I have projected a folder.
An ambitious folder. It have some technological solutions.

Frame lock with Rotoblock safety block;
One piece titanium 6Al4V handle, tool steel blade for better cutting ability.

Three protos are made from Lionsteel.
Do you think that this knife can be produced?

Very nice! The location of the clip will make it hard to grab the knife when it is in your pocket though...

Looks very futuristic. I like the handle options. Would be nice if you could get the blade in the same colors.
 
I like the low-ride clip myself, although I think I would prefer it screwed in the traditional place on the side, instead of the butt. Aside from that, I think it a very smooth and tough looking blade, and I am looking forward to learning more about the rotoblock mechanism.

Nice looking handful of folder, it should sell well. There should be a leather belt pouch for this one.
 
That's nice, I like it. I suppose that this additonal metal piece on the lock ( steel? ) it was designed for a better wear resistance ( and it is also easy to change ).
 
That's an interesting knife :thumbup:

I would probably go for a couple of those if the holes along the back of the handle could be done away with.
 
It looks like the 'lockbar stabilizer' can be screwed down locking the frame lock in, so it basically becomes a fixed blade.

There is also the removable piece that can be replaced for wear on the end of the frame lock.

There is some pretty serious engineering going on in that knife, hope some patents were applied for.

I'm surprised more people aren't excited about it since it is cut from one piece of Ti like the Lochsa.

Might should contact some of the online knife stores like knifeworks since they will commission a knife from companies and they end up being the only one carrying it.

If it looks as good as the pictures do I'm sure it would sell fast on the semi-custom market.
 
It looks really cool. Too bad I'm not in a position to chase after this one.
