Hello dear friends,
So, with God's good will today i present you the 'APEX' in a Performance Edition (Ti/Carbon fiber hybrid)) - full size, titanium frame lock folder, a classy workhorse with lots of character
Built around a titanium 'core' this folder is a gorgeous cutter.
An aluminium/vanadium alloy, Grade 5 TA6V titanium offers an excellent compromise between mechanical strength, toughness and ductility hence it was the choice for the mechanic frame of the folder.
The detent ball is high quality ceramic for an ever lasting smooth action without deformations.
All screws are precision machined blackened steel, the stop and pivot pins are hardened, precision ground 400c stainless steel so no wear in there even after prolonged years of use.
The blade slides on phosphorous bronze washers with 'grease pockets'.
The blade is made using the high carbon Spicy White (26c3) tool steel (beware it is not rustproof but you know me - i am the carbon steel guy
), with a high flat grind and a fabulous hamon. The blade comes razor sharp.
APEX PERFORMANCE Edition features on short including new features:
- Spicy White (26c3) high carbon tool steel, wearing a fabulous hamon
- Grade 5 TA6V titanium frame - golden orange anodized mechanism side
- carbon fiber/stabilized 'emerald' burl wood hybrid presentation side
- 'VespidEdge' cnc engraved and golden orange anodized logo.
- precision chamfered edges - new feature that offers consistent and crisp edge chamfering
- phosphorous bronze washers with 'grease pockets'
- screws are precision machined blackened steel
- the stop and pivot pins are hardened, precision ground 400c stainless steel
- carbidized lock face
- custom stainless steel burl wood inlayed thumb stud - theme specific
- the blade is surface flattened on a new generation high end surface grinding machine with tolerances from 1 to 3 microns.
- the stop pin is taken to size by precision grinding it instead of using the lathe which offers microns precision and better overall fit.
- all Ti scales are cut on a new, high precision, micro waterjet machine.
OAL - 7.87", Blade - 3.55"
The price for this APEX PERFORMANCE Edition is WITHDRAWN
All the best, God bless,
Bogdan
