Ah! So you are saying that ball bearings are a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Sounds like something I have run into somewhere around here recently. What else has that been said about....

The time for useful dialog about the FFK mechanism(on BF anyway) has passed. But since most of you seem to want to continue the insults, I will gladly return the

favor. Lets start with this:
1. This should be a forum of knife enthusiasts and professional knife makers(jury is still out on that)

2. The FFK has little in common with current knife design other than a blade/handle/pivot pin.

3. The locking mechanism/application is completely new and very strong.

4. In the last 5 years of developing this mechanism and getting it to work properly,.....like it or not.....I am the resident expert on it.
You are not !

5. I have tried to spin you guys up but you seem stuck.

6. I have forgotten more about the FFK mechanism than you will ever know.

Here I respond to this for you.

1) Yup we have knife enthusiasts, and definately have professional knife makers. You've gotten on the bad side of both by the way you conduct yourself. Look back at your threads and reread them you will notice what is going on.

2) It's a knife with a new locking mechanism you did not invent a wheel. A blade/handle/pivot pin is a very large park of a folding knife.

3) In computer simulations you have yet to put it to real world testing. So it's all theory now and you haven't even begun testing so don't get ahead of yourself.

4) Yup your the residential expert on your design, we tried to get information from you and start conversations with you about it but you failed at basic communication skills. This is most evident in your first thread, reread it to see examples. And BTW why did you not test this thing after 5 YEARS and then come here to claim it's the strongest locking mechanism?

5) Nope, we still want information, testing, and proof that your knife can do what you say it does but you seem unable to provide it and at numerous times made us second guess your skills as a knifemaker/designer with what you say. Once again reread your threads and posts, people do call you out on this practically every time.

6) Considering you have failed to give us a lot of information we asked about your FFK mechanism and with the way things are going I have my doubts about ever seeing it hit the market (hope I am wrong) so I sadly have to agree with you on this. Which is too bad I wouldn't mind seeing a new locking mechanism torn apart to see how it works in detail and put to it's limits.

Design innovations ........

-Triad definitely

-Steel inserts...Titanium is not wear resistant(even HT type). Machinists have known that for a 1000 years.

-Tiny ball bearings....idk.... knifes open fast enough with phospher bronze

I commend you,you actually answered the post...........I guess it's a start

Wow titanium in use for a 1000 years. Ummmm it was not actually used for anything much before 1946. Soooo......
 
Mike, it's still not too late, I've seen many come back from the abyss and become contributing members on the forum and respected members of the knife community.

Trouble is, I've seen many more nose dive head first into the abyss never to be heard from again, the choice is still yours. Try listening to what members have been telling you from the start. I'm not find waste the bandwidth by repeating/quoting all your side stepping and diversionary tactics.

It is what it is and the only person to blame is you, I'm done commenting lest it gets moved to W&C at which point ask bets are off and you become more entertainment and less informative.

Best of luck trying to get your concept into production, you're going to need it.

BTW IBTM
 
FFK, I was polite and on your side for a while. I asked you a few questions, you completely ignored me. Thanks.

Probably not.

I agree with others even though (IIRC) I have not posted in one of your threads before now. The person to "start" is you. No one else. You have come into an established community of folks. You need to fit in (your job, no one else's) and develop a positive reputation here. But you've done just the opposite. You are trying to make others fit your vision of what should go on here and care not one whit about your reputation.

All that stuff is extremely obvious.

You want things to go your way? Get down off of your high horse and learn how this forum works. Then, and only then, join in some existing conversations. Build your rep. Let people get to know the personal side of you. Make friends. Discuss issues. THEN, start some threads.

Without change on your part, this issue that you are having will occur in almost any forum that you decide to participate in, and in most you will get far, far worse treatment. You are actually lucky that your slam at the mods back in your OP went without infraction (assuming it did).

You are not original nor are you the first to come in with this exact attitude. Across the internet there are millions who do not get it and are unable to absorb experiences that don't fit their personal vision of how things should be. You are just one of those millions.

You could be a contributing member of this forum if you would just open your mind - just a little - and learn. But of course none of this advice will take.

I noticed Sam Wilson made a couple of posts. Here's a man who came up with an idea for a knife, extensively worked with various areas and members of BF, posted his testing results along the way, and has began to market a very well regarded knife. People who have a new idea and want to move forward with it would do very well to emulate Sam's marketing strategy. He's a strong listener and receptive to input, as well as being an excellent maker. FFK, go back and take a look at how Sam did it. Hell, talk it him, he might even be helpful.

Right now FFK, like it or not, because of the way you presented yourself, your lack of respect, and only answering questions that you feel deserve an answer, you have a huge bullseye on the front and back of your shirt. I can sympathize a little, because I too was clad in the same bullseye.

You should add a few more commas to your sentences.
 
I'm amazed this thread is still here. I read through it and time and again very patient people keep explaining the same thing to a person who refuses to hear or learn. I seen another thread from the same guy that went the same way.

I believe there is access to some very sought after knowledge here. It's relayed freely and comes from some very bright minds. From what I've seen at least.

Anyone with a little wisdom would feel priveledged and humbled to be a part of this community and all it has to offer. I know it goes beyond just the knife stuff too.

I believe there are some who don't want to listen because possibly they think they've heard it all before.

I could go on and on but this one will not entertain the idea that he is wrong and should change up his approach.

I've read through some W&C threads and laughed out loud at times. I wonder when this one will end up there?

Quoted for truth!

This is a knife forum first and foremost but as you say it is a community. A community with a diverse group individuals who's collective knowledge extents much further than knives.
 
Please point out a single insult I have made ? I can point out a few of yours easily. :)

Your dodging of questions shows that you have done nothing you claim to have done. I believe this knife isn't yours or your design. You have no patent on any part of it. You have only one piece and not the several you claimed to have. You spent too much money having that one knife made (or you're lying about that $6000) as no concept "proto" is presented fully finished with coatings, anodising and all the rest. You have no knowlege of knives or knife use and your knowlege of materials and engineering is about the same.

Would that be a fair assessment of things here, FFK ?

You have done nothing to prove otherwise and now you're just refusing to provide any information or answer questions on the grounds that you had your feelings hurt because real knife makers saw some problmes that needed ironed out and asked you "difficult" questions. You wouldn't tell us anything from the start anyway so this silly nonsense actually makes no difference at all.

You need to ask yourself why you are even here, I know I'm not the only one wandering what you're all about......

Laurence,
Initially you were one of the forums members that didn't resort to insults as I conveyed the basic FFK idea. However as Haze(clown) and a few others started then

you all had to lock step behind them or else. Any further information about the FFK and improvements will not be posted at BF. Again if you look at the threads you will

see that I tried like Heck to stay calm and respectful despite the impatient(child like) requests/demands/insults insisting that I destroy valuable prototypes immediately for their

viewing enjoyment. Had I been treated with respect I would have gladly answered patent number questions etc....I would have posted an CAD exploded views of the FFK and

individual parts. for closer examination. So Laurence....start over for what ? Fool me once shame on you....fool me twice shame on me.

Mike,

You have fooled yourself with your arrogance.
There are many innovators and inventors that frequent this forum. Your claim that new idea's and products are scoffed at and not wanted by all around here is just plain ridiculous and it makes you sound like a hurt little child.

I myself as a knife maker invented a product for other makers and started marketing my Rhino Finger Skins here in a subtle way. I've made many new customers here.

I gained these customers by politely telling people what It is I have and what it does. Not by making claims that mine is better than, or the only, or stronger than, and the CAD shows this or that etc and most importantly answering all questions in a polite & professional manner and have made some friends along the way. Try it? I bet You'll like the results.
 
I just finished inventing the greatest folding fixed blade in history. It's made entirely of unobtainium with a tad bit of Vanadium in it. I can't show the pics of it or tell you the 137 patent numbers on it since it's the most awesome design ever since steel was invented. I've invested $6,000,000.00 in prototypes and 47 years of my time to test it on Mars.
I'm posting to ask what all of you knifemaking experts think of my new knife?:eek:

Seriously, I can't think of a better place to ask questions and get advice on anything that concerns blades. This IS the place the experts hang out.
 
David Stifle,
All I know about Sam is that he posts a lot of videos. He hasn't talk about knives. He might be lost......on the wrong website.

Actually, Sam has done quite well here. You could have too.
If anyone might be lost, you would come to mind first of most anyone else.
