The Credit Card Knives are my first non custom project. They are exactly the same size as a credit card and are made from .040 6AL6V Mil Spec Titanium. Show below are custom finished ones. Basic ones will be available in about 3 weeks. Other than the anodized and bead blasted finish, they are sterile, unmarked. The blanks are waterjet cut, the cutting edges are CNC Milled. Final sharpening is done by hand, each one is hand stropped to a shaving sharp edge. So far the feedback has been nothing but positive. I have over 100 already delivered and being carried!!

The main idea of the design was to provide the best grip, retention and maximum amount of cutting edge in a credit card size and profile.

NOTE: These are NOT intended for illegal use OR to defeat or pass through METAL DETECTORS!! THEY WILL SHOW UP, DON'T EVEN TRY IT!!!

This is what I call the "choked up" grip. The ring and middle finger are through the holes. The pointer finger and thumb squeeze the knife. Please contact me via Email for more info.

Thanks!

Put me on the list for one from the first batch.

Oops! Did I say that?

Seriously, I do want one! How much are they?
 
Cool, Neil!! The ano is pretty wild. Yeah, how much are they?? Might wanna procure one for myself :)
 
Geez Neil, how the heck do you keep your nails looking so good after all that time spent on the grinder? :p

Seriously cool knife just the same :cool:
 
Base price for satin or bead blast will be approx. $55-60. The custom finished ones will be an additional $20. I'm still in negotiations for material and CNC time. I will do my best to keep them as reasonable as possible.

I have about 5 left from the first group of FANCY ones!! Please Email me for details.

PS Jamie, I go to the nail salon 3 times per week and work on them for HOURS after I finish in the shop:rolleyes: :p
 
Neil,

Congratulations! I actually have my own version of this in pre-production right now! Not to worry, they are different enough that there won't be a conflict between the products.

Good Luck!

Neil:

Received my card today...AAAAAAWESOME! :eek:

Thanks for the quick turn around.

It's perfect for situations when you want to carry a cutting edge but an EDC, pocket knife, or necker may not be appropriate.

Thanks Neil
 
Looks great Neil.., thanks for the pictures...:)

GHEN,

In the past week I have been contacted by no less than 5 other people that have the same idea. I think it will come down to the most functional design. It will be interesting to see what evolves.

Pete,

Thanks!! The next run will have some different anodized patterns.
