This is the first model of the stealth line of flippers ill be making in the next few months (when I get caught up on order's and collab's) this is the mini.
The blade is 3 1/4 inches of cpm-m4 acid washed 63.5 rc.
Ti framelock just under 4 inches closed. What do you guys think?

I like it.I like it a lot.Great choice for blade steel.Don't see enough custom cpm-m4 knives.
 
Thanks guys, this is the first in the new line of flippers ill be working on in the months to come. Cpm-m4 has become a new favorite steel of mine. Even when it dulls it continues to cut, it's not hard to sharpen either.
 
Very clean and straight forward. I really like the grind lines on the blade. The solid, overall shape and curvature and acid wash finish patina/color reminds me of a mako shark. I like, very much. This is a purely personal and cosmetic preference, but I wouldn't mind a hair more radius on the back end of the handle. Mike
