wow that's a sweet finish. I'm going to have to keep my eye out for that pre order list.....great work gentlemen.
 
Jake, love the way the finished turned out! That looks like a disassembly tool for a Tank! That's a beast!!! Woot!
 
God damn that's a folder I'd use. I usually don't like folders but damn.

I wouldn't mind knowing the price of such a knife.
 
Alphahunter, do you design all these knives?

I ask only because, for instance Peter and Jake's own folders are pretty unique but these colab's start to blur the line a bit and you start seeing a lot of obvious inspirations and I think that starts to have a negative impact at some point.

It's hard to post something constructive and not come across like a dick so I'm having issues clicking save. There's obvious talent here and in PR's knives, I just wish I'd see things that started with a blank slate.
 
^^
Thanks for the compliments.

Also, as a "Designer" you want your collaborations to look like its something inspired by the designer. You nailed it. If you look at some of my stuff with Peter and Jake you will see big and overbuilt with killer blood grooves and fullers. Why? Because that's what I like.

The collaborations are more inspired by the maker than myself since they make the knife.
I may share an idea or a drawing and we go back and forth until we come to an agreement.

Mr. Cleans comment lets me know I'm doing it right. When you see the Rapture or the War Horse you will know Alphahunter was involved in the project.

Thanks again for all the feedback. We always try to offer the stuff guys want in a overbuilt knife. Thick s90v and 3v with thick slabs of Ti just to name a few of the "Super Steels" we use.
