My ultimate folder Idea

dhaines said:
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?

I think you have a fantastic imagination. Can I get a pocket lightsaber with this knife? :D
 
You'd need a very skilled marketer. Maybe set up some videos of the knife chopping hanging meat? Because that would definitely prove that everything about the knife is top-grade....
 
I think your "Xtreme Angel of Death Uber Mall Ninja Custom Pro XP--For Professional Use ONLY: good for fighting and camping" folder is an awesome idea! Be sure to include cupholders and racing stripes and jimp the hell out of that sucker. I mean, the jimping should have jimping! :thumbup:

Personally, I'll hold off until your lightsabers are ready for production... :)
 
I don't think my idea is as far fetched as a lightsaber...just not many knife makers have many engineers on staff or used ideas from auto racing. ...I also want to include a bottle opener on the back of the handle...I do like a lot of jimping and will make a special nutnfancy model to make him happy! To keep costs down on the nutnfancy model I will switch from carbon fiber to high traction coconut shells to meet his cheapo price point dollars and it will be made in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by a Zulu Priest named "click" "click" "click"!!

I can name the company Angle Engineering... as a word play for cutting Angle and call the knife the Angel of Death Tactical Folder...for Professional use. Angel-DTF and my own version of Snody world only I can call it Donnie's World and hire Curt Angle to promote it with me.
I will include a free sharpening DVD that I will buy from Murray Carter for 20 bucks each.
