Hey dude, I'll come help with snow abatement. I'll be there in my flip - flops and a weed burner torch :D maybe even a flame thrower!

I'm down! :D

Once my neighbor and I used a weed burner to defrost the ice and dig holes (frozen ground) for a porch we installed... it was nuts!

yeah... not a lot of fun moving the snow but the ski hill will be rocking! I just need to make it there! :D
 
Daniel! Do you wanna make the penny, whenever??
no metal bolster either. We'll just use Micarta and pivot screw friction.
shadddup, Xander!!
:D
 
Hey guys!

Rolf - I'm not really set up to make one up to the standards I want to but one day I will! Some of the machinists here might have the right setup.


I've been showing you guys some ideas on the folders... listen to this! I really want your feedback!



- flipper

- framelock

- bearings

- thick carved or milled Titanium frames and medium thickness slicey/tough blade

- thick carved clip attached with one large screw

- extra large pivot and one large screw... that's it for hardware! No tapped parts or standoffs... just one insert for the single 8-32 screw. High thread count on the pivot for ease of adjustment

- Titanium Backspacer

- dowel pin in backspacer for the tightest folder possible... the pin offers less play or shifting between frames

- 3.25" Blade

- friction folder handle with Backpacker blade! The handle is a bit larger and has slightly different lines than the friction folder but is very close.

I'm hoping to hit $495 as the base price if at all possible. I might be able to do this with a pre-buy or deposits.

OK, Daniel.
DO it!!
Are the bearings really necessary?

Bearings - no, not at all, there is almost no friction with washers done correctly but the bearings would allow me to fit in an internal stop pin the way I want to for the flipper. There are lots of ways to do it but this design is compact and all business.

I have a few large projects going for the year and they are about to come together nicely... but this would be a big project!
 
I understand if done right bearings allow for crank down fitting no blade play and still ultrasmooth

Driving on the phone so excuse the grammar (Phone dictation)
 
Rolf is now my mentor... this years lineup!

- Tanto! options - red or bright red

- Red Tanto! a bit like model A but more tanto-ey.



Good morning guys!

Red Ti Tanto.

^ That!

I'm excited about this upcoming 3V tanto run! I have had a bunch of requests for the same model in Ti too so look out.


I'll show you guys the CAD later for the folder design I am working on. It's not there yet on the lines but I have a drawing I'm working from...
