If I was going to start up shop i would get a few million dollars together from my private equity group and go to Porsche engineering to develop a wiz bang super strong forged locking mechanism out of unobtanium built into a carbon fiber monocoque handle that I would develop with Lamborghini who is researching a cheaper FORGED COMPOSITE Carbon fiber with a golf club manufacture.
I would also used sealed bearings with synthetic grease like they do in high speed wheel hubs to make it water proof and smooth opening forever in any conditions. I would have variable rate springs assist it opening fast and an easy smooth closing with one hand, or have a spring delete option. I would have a flipper and usable thumbstuds that are nice and large for gloved hands. The blade would be held in place with 1 forged titanium nut similar to a formula 1 wheel. Then I would give it a cool tactical name like the Angel of Death.
the blades will come in 3.5 and 4 inches and have a few designed from speapoint to a japanese style tanto, Hinderer spanto, and warncliff, modified warncliff and be made out of laminated ZDP 189, or Hitatchi blue steel in the middle with a softer 420 J2 around it so it will be easy to sharpen like Japanese blades I have...also I would have a chisel grind edge option with a carbide edge. I will higher people from japan to forge the blades then have then ground to spec.
The customer will be able to customize his or her knife like they do a Porsche or Ferrari and order it online with the colors they want. I would create an assembly line and make it a production midtech custom to keep the cost down under 500 bucks. I wish William Henry did something cool like this because they are doing something like this now with fancy gentleman's folder knives and have not tapped into a more "mainstream" tactical folding market.
What do you guys think?
