Hello dear friends,
With God's good will today i present you a tweaked 'Murder Hornet' - a solid full size titanium frame lock with an impressive look.
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 frame of the folder.
The detent ball is high quality ceramic for an ever lasting smooth action without deformations.
All screws are precision machined black oxidized 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 W2 tool steel at 63 hrc (beware it is not rustproof but you know me - i am the carbon steel guy
), with a high flat grind, clay hardened and a hand finished mirror polished and etched that shows a gorgeous 'misty' hamon on dark background. The blade comes razor sharp and is correctly centered.
Tweaked 'Murder Hornet' features on short:
- very light and yet very strong.
- ultra slim (only 0.09" thick stock) W2 tool steel, 63 hrc, clay hardened and a hand finished mirror polished and etched that shows a gorgeous 'misty' hamon on dark background.
- Grade 5 TA6V titanium - stonewash finish.
- FAT carbon 'Toxic storm' presentation scale.
- phosphorous bronze washers with 'grease pockets'.
- screws are precision machined black oxidized steel, the stop and pivot pins are hardened, precision ground 400c stainless steel.
- pivot has 'titanium' finish aluminum countersunk washers.
- custom thumb stud with FAT carbon 'Toxic storm' inlay and ss body.
Optional features:
- Solid carbon fiber milled pocket clip (tip up carry) - +30 usd
- solid brass lanyard bead - +10 usd/ +35 usd (with genuine Emerald inlay)
OAL - 7.87", Blade - 3.55"
The price for this Murder Hornet is - 350 usd (express shipping included).
All the best, God bless,
Bogdan
