Limited Edition Tyrade

[SOLEIL]

Great ideas by all. I'm in for one no matter what the configuration is.

Truthfully, in my book a pinch by the flipper is a whole lot lesser of the two evils when the other one is a bad cut to the tendon.

I could NOT agree more! :thumbup:

How does that one stack up to the original frame lock in thickness Thomas? Will it end up being about the same or is it thicker?

Here are a few comparison shots;

Sick dude.

Thanks Thom. Looks like another one knocked out of the park to me. :thumbup:

Naahhh ... big bad blade needs a black handle

 

[Dingle1911]

I really like it. I would also like to see an option for tip up or tip down carry.

Sure, maybe for you mid-life crisis types. Personally I'd feel plenty manly with a blue hadle. I don't know Esav, think you could handle it???

 

[Esav Benyamin]

Mid-life crisis. What?
I am WAY past any mid-life crisis.

Knife handles come in black.
Toy handles come in pretty colors.
The Assassins Guild does not play with toys.

im glad you posted those pics of the lock on this one......
see how it has the grooves for the thumb to press against on the liner lock?

why cant the new ZT0350 have those?

btw... the liners looks super beefy on this tyrade!
Im defianntly game for one

I really like the look of the color contrast on the original Tyrade blade.
Why doesn't the new blade have the same coloring? The D2 should look darker, right?

 

[SPXTrader]

Here's your answer:

Ok, here is the deal, these blades originally didn't pass QC because the etching wasn't perfect on them. They were scheduled to go into the original Tyrades.

It's either this finish, bead blast them, or we scrap them.

As far as the scales, we have the G-10, the liners would be fairly easy. We could keep the price at a minimum this way, and still have top notch materials.

 

[Puny Human]

Ahh. Thanks for showing me that.
I don't know what "etching" means when it comes to blades. I'm kind of a noobie (this is my brother's account).

Would a bead blast finish mean a better look to the blade as a whole or make the D2 darker?

 

[Esav Benyamin]

I find a stonewashed finish is more durable than most.

 

[Artfully Martial]

I agree...at least, visually, it stands the test of time better. I like stonewash on my users.

What caused the color fade on the Ti handle?
I just ordered a Tyrade and I don't want mine looking faded like that!

 

[cutter17]

Is there anyplace taking preorders on this one?

 

[SladeGT40]

bad lighting? finger print oils? probably nothing

I bet it's from a lot of use.
Gripping those anodized handles can cause rub marks.
I won't use mine anyway so It will stay pretty.
