An ambitious folder.

Very nice looking knife & some of the mechanisms on it sure look interesting.

It'd be nice to get a little better explanation on what some of the features are, such as what a "Roto block" is, how does that "thing" at the end of the lock bar work, along with the round object between the frame & the lock bar.

The blade shape looks very nice & heavy duty, plus the idea of a 1-piece Ti frame is also impressive & as best as I can tell (The current currency exchange rate), it's not that expensive at all for what it is.

Very interesting.
 
I would order one of those!!:thumbup:
Very nicely thought out and executed.:D
At roughly 300.00 US that is a great idea.
 
$300 is about what the price is if you buy 150 of them. I would imagine whoever coughs up the money for the order is going to be selling them for more like $400-500.

Which for what it is, is still a good deal compared to knives of similar construction and materials.
 
Definitly a Strider killer.

a threaded stud?

If I have it right, the roto lock would be a cylindrical pin with with a flat milled on it. The round portion can be turned to fit into a concavity in the part to be locked. When the flat is turned over the concavity. there is clearance for the formerly locked part to move.

It's a very strong, simple mechanism often used in firearms, especially in safties and as a lockdown for break action weapons.
 
Pretty nice. I like the rotoblock thing. Have you given any thought to making it open construction with a two piece handle like on a Spyderco Sage 2 or Sebenza?

If it was 2 ti handle slabs it would be just about like any other ti framelock. Being machined out of one piece of titanium adds quite a bit of strength and robustness, plus its pretty darn cool.

You would probably be the only person asking for it to be 2 pieces when it can be one.
 
Very awesome, this knife will definitely sell considering its unique features that actually seem useful. The one piece handle idea similar to the Lochsa is just damn cool.
 
I would buy one.
but for 200 euro. it's a little steep for me.
other than that, it looks amazing.
congratulations.
 
I like the design and the one piece handle, not crazy about the lock stop roto thingy and hate the plate on the end of the lock bar with the burning fire of a thousand suns. Deal breaker, shut it down!
 
I really like it! i like the lowrider clip too, but the knife might be just a tad large for normal pocket carry, a nice leather sheath, would a nice addition...
 
I like to be able to adjust vertical blade play, deal me in, I would buy one.

Nice to have a tanto option.
 
The one-piece handle design is nice, but I'll never understand the appeal of the current pointless, slab-shaped blade trend. I use a blade's point as much as I do its edge, and this profile has no usable point to speak of.

Aside from which, I have no interest in overwrought pocketknives that punish the Toledos at nearly half a pound.

Why do you dislike the replaceable lock bar tip? Looks?
 
I like it, but it is a bit too big for my taste. Price is good.
Consider making 100 big ones and 50 smaller ones (~ 3" to 3.3"). You will have no problems selling 150 pieces.

Reliability. Adds another link in the chain, one more point that can fail. A knife carved from a single ti billet weakened at the most crucial element of the lock? Defeats it's own purpose.
