As CEO of Air Test & Balance I would like to offer my services to validate your products using the Dwyer Electronanometer/38040/010036 as well as the Dynasonics ultrasonic flowmeter coupled with the Airflow/AV-2 rotating Vane Anemometer for testing Pos. and Neg. air pressure with your blades in use.....

Thank you for your kind offer, but we have all of the equipment we now need. Preliminary testing was conducted at the University of Iowa hydraulic & fluid dynamics research laboratory in Iowa City, but was moved to an undisclosed, secure laboratory once early tests revealed the enormous potential of the technology we are developing.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

MoonWilson Products is proud to share with you the first images of our new Stealth Eagle Air Assassinator prototype. This model incorporates several new, highly innovative, tactical features. The color of the blade is not a coating, it is an integral part of the sophisticated, laminated material, and cannot wear off during use. This is also our largest model to date, with a blade length of 8.5" and an OAL of 14". It is a real performer, capable of cutting vast amounts of air with minimal effort, and with negligible audible and visual signatures.

The blade profile is based on the americanized tanto pattern, which has been proven in battle for almost 20 years.

Also, we would like to announce the completion of our first production run of the Jungle Apocalyptic Inferno.

The entire run was presold to an agency with which we have a non-disclosure agreement, and should see duty within the month. We expect that they will fetch a premium on the secondary market, once their primary mission is complete.
 
I dunno, I'm a bit skeptical of the performance claims.

When cutting air are you pushing the blade or pulling it? And what about the vagaries of local pressure fronts, high or low, or what altitude? Humidity and dew point? Temperature fer crissakes. To claim superiority of these edges one certainly must baseline all these elements. Otherwise you're comparing frigates to boats.

Did you krinkle them to the same taper initially?

My mind reels at the potential statistical errors of these otherwise well marketed blades.

Are the sheathes at least...esoteric?

And did I see any of these on seconded employees while chasing pirates about the Straits of Malacca some years back, perhaps in prototype, or at least, wrapped about prophylactics in Subic?

I am very grateful to you for the new Stealth Eagle Air Assassinator this is precisely what I am looking for my air deanimation missions.
 
I can already tell these knives are designed so that they never need sharpening and will never get duller than original factory condition!
 
The stealth eagle air assassinator looks like the perfect SD knife for me, especially with the non-wear coating. I've often found that the coating of other knives can wear of after only a few encounters with evil ninjas. The lack of coating makes the knife much more difficult to conceal, due to light glinting off the blade, so this should be a big improvement. My only complaint is that the blade is only 8.5 inches long. I normally demand at least a 10 inch blade for defense. Are there any plans for a larger model?

This is absolutely true. They are designed to never need to be sharpened under normal use. How is this possible? One word: polymers.

If a MWP blade ever loses its factory edge, we will resharpen it free of charge, though there will be a shipping and handling fee to cover the costs of processing.
 
A question about the coating if you don't mind. It's hard to tell from the pictures. Is the blade coating a crinkle coat type - which would stand up better in muggy chopping conditions, or a smooth DLC type - which would offer less air resistance and cut better. Also a new coating maker has a product on the market you guys should look into. The brand name is "Sharpie" and it can coat anything.

Thanks for the time and effort you have put into these knives. I've always thought there was a market to be tapped for air de-animation and covert wind ninjas. Looks like somebody finally is putting the product out there.

There is no coating on the Stealth Eagle Air Assasinator. The blade is a laminate of solution-dyed cellulose and polystyrene composites, with an outer layer of hand-rubbed, ultra-high-density graphite. The color cannot wear off, as it is part of the blade itself. A similar, but less sophisticated material is marketed under the brand name "gatorboard", but lacks our graphite outer layer, and heat treat.

We tested some of the Sanford "Sharpie" products in one of our earlier prototypes. However, the analine-dye base of the Sharpie does not posess the UV resistance that our clients demand. The Jungle Apocalyptic Inferno and similar models incorporate camoflage coatings that utilize the much more expensive Staedtler Lumocolor pigment deposition method. Inferior Sharpie based coating systems fade and yellow rapidly under accelerated UV exposure testing. Lumocolor coating, especially when combined with our proprietary, satin, acrylic polymer secodary coating, is absolutely lightfast.
 
The Stealth series seem to be both urban safe and airplane allowed. TSA often looks at me suspiciously when I attempt to bring my larger and less advanced striders on board. Also, I assume out of jealousy, both the LAPD SWAT and SFPD Special Services units constantly handcuff and detain me when I attempt to walk into "sensative areas" with some of my 15 inch + CS's.

I'm not sure if its the stealth materials or the revolutionary advanced low drag designs, but it appears the SEAA would be able to blend in in both the environments with minimum fuss...

The civilian-model SEAA cannot be carried through a security checkpoint without detection.To try to do so will result in a stiff fine and probable incarceration.

To comply with secret Federal manufacturing regulations, a quantity of steel will be incorporated into the construction of Stealth Eagle Air Assassinator blades. This is to prevent unauthorized carry onboard commerical airliners. We do not want to provide terrorists with the tools to attack America. The steel is concealed, and cannot be removed without compromising the integrity of the blade.

Military and police models will not include this feature, but they will not be available to the general public.
 
I remain skeptical.

If your process involves applying as interim step, a mold of a channel network onto the blade, coated with a sacrificial poly-cellulose layer and then pulling solutions of dyed etchants through the channels to transfer the banding onto the blade, then methinks your ship is standing into danger inre IP of academicians known to me. Sharpy, aargh or halyard not withstanding.

Perhaps for a bottle of rum I can be convinced not to blow the bosun's pipe.

Our process is much more complicated than that. We remain confident that we stand on solid legal, as well as technical ground, with regards to all of our manufacturing techniques. The only similarity to my camoflaging process and the one you mention above, is that the banding deposition is achieved through the assistance of capillary action. However, the pigment-based layer, which is only a few microns thick, is deposited through a series of synthetic, structured micro-tubules, actuated by a manual arm. The tubules are fed by an integral resevoir, and the action is assisted by gravity-feed. This layer is subsequently sealed with our proprietary poly-acrylic resin coating.

We welcome your interest, as well as your skepticism. It is to our benefit to have our products and operations subject to the impartial scrutiny of academics such as yourself.
 
Will MWP leverage the huge advances in light weight materials it has made into building the mech you use as an avatar? When will the civilian legal version be made?

The E.D.209 advanced model in my avatar is a product of the now defunct O.C.P. Heavy Industries. It a treasured item in my personal collection. E.D.209s are available only rarely on the secondary market, and usually only through covert military channels, and then only to licensed DOD contractors. A large portion of O.C.P. Heavy Industries' tooling and other assets were bought for pennies on the dollar when O.C.P. itself was liquidated, following bankruptcy hearings. The advanced prototype E.D.209 in my avatar was obtained in that sale, and was given to me as a gift, when I assumed the position of Chairman of the Board of Moonwilson Advanced Robotics. I have since stepped down from that position, to pursue other interests, including edged-weapon technology.

MWP's parent company, Wilson Advanced Robotics, does manufacture a wide range of armed, automated infiltration and response units, but these are all highly classified, and available only through Pentagon-approved vendors. Due to the sensitive, top secret nature of these products, we cannot disclose any details on this public forum. It suffices to say that several of our products, and one in particular, make the E.D. 209 look like a flimsy child's toy by comparison. Wilson Advanced Robotics has been restricted by DOD and Homeland Security protocols from offering any of its products to the civilian market. Some of the material technology incorporated into the MWP line comes from declassified research conducted in Wilson Advanced Robotics laboratories.
