[Allen Elishewitz]

A little over a month ago I went down to Les' place to work on this prototype. We had to make this prototype and figure out the logistics of our midtech project. After several weeks of hard work, Les and I are working on the midtechs and can show the WIP. It is going to show that there is a lot of hand work involved. In this set of photos I am drilling and counter boring the G-10 handles; also drilling and counter boring one of the titanium frames for the screws. The spacer needed to be drilled for the screws as well.

I am bead blasting everything but the blade!

and grinding the thumb reliefs into both sides

 

[Allen Elishewitz]

I can't seem to be able to post any links to pictures for the past 3 days! The forum just hangs up..... ????

 

[Les George]

I bead blasted screws too! Nothing like 2 days of bead blasting!

Set the detent balls

Now to layout all the frames and go over each one, looking for missed bead blast spots, new handling marks or any other foolishness and go back and re bead blast all that stuff...

 

[Les George]

I got ya Allen!

These are a little out of sequence since I worked on the handles before I sent them to Les.

New pics from Val of the batch we finished up yesterday!

This time stonewashed titanium, and blade grinds with satin finished flats for a nice 2 tone effect. They came out pretty cool, I think!

Makes me want to make some more flippers!

 

[Les George]

New ones just finished up!
