The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is available! Price is $250 ea (shipped within CONUS).
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/
Massive folding frame lock knife built with .190" Titanium slab handles, .25" flat ground 5160, and micro roller bearing .25" pivot.
I will document the entire process because there has been a lot of chatter recently about the IKBS and similar systems. My goal last year was to have a table at BLADE this year so this will serve as my prototype for a line of large folding knives. OK so first things first here are the plans drawn out for the knife. Blue circles represent the micro roller bearing around the pivot and the .3" tri-ring stand offs. A stainless steel hardened .312 thumb stud will serve double duty as my stop pin.
Any and all comments are welcome. Hope you guys enjoy the ride!

The water jet parts came in today! They look perfect, all dimensions are just a hair undersized just how i like it. I'll get the holes reamed true this weekend and counter-bore the blade for the bearings.

Your welcome...I'm adding a clip to mine. Beast mode folder!Early in this thread it was suggested I look at an Ontario Hossom Retribution 1 by Maddogg774 and later by others as well. I was not aware of this knife before this thread but I went ahead and purchased one and just received it in the mail. All I can say is WOW! This thing is awesome in every way and the value seems to be incredible. It's rock solid and sooooo smooth! This knife was a slam dunk for me for two reasons. First I always EDC a Spyderco of one flavor or another (usually an Endura) so the opening hole is something I prefer and am completely in tune with and second I'm a big fan of Ontario knives. I really just got into Ontario even though I've owned a couple over the years so that explains me not being aware of this knife. I'm likely not done with the Massive folder quest and will be looking at some custom options by makers on this forum. So many thanks to Maddogg774 and everyone that has contributed to this thread!
Tease;pOh man, you have no idea what im about to release into the wild....it will force lesser knives to shy away into the corners....it is 1/4 inched , 4.5 inch bladed wonderment. With ti and 10v and all sorts of overlay...
