"New" Jake Hoback/ A10 Alpha "Terminator" Framelock Flipper thread!

I'd love to get one, provided it is to my specs...

Blade from .200" and 4.5" sharpened length. Full Ti spacer. No flipper, instead have a Spyderco looking thumb hump with oval thumb hole. Non locking scale is black G10 with a .100" Ti liner. Pocket clip holes for L/R tip up carry with lanyard hole. Regular PB washers please.

Yup I would want it all steel( Yeah I want it to be a heavy mofo) with a 4" blade, Double guard with flipper(so it can wave too), none locking scale .120 stainless steel liner with black paper micarta a la swamp rat.
 
I'll get my custom fix blade from Jake at the end of this week .This folder is very nice ,I like the shape of the blade especialy .
 
vladdracul, ur blade arrived yet? Post some pics when it touches down ok?

Luckily I'm a patient dude cause if not the Hoback's gonna have an persistent Asian on his back 24/7 :)
 
I got to show the A10 Alpha Terminator to a lot of people at Blade yesterday and today. A big thanks for all the compliments. Everyone was Awesome!!! I hope to do a booth next year with Jake and Peter.

Second verse, same as the first.

We cannot have a sales pitch in a discussion forum. I moved the last posts offline. I cannot move them to a sales forum because they aren't in proper format with prices.

This would work perfectly in a Hosted Knifemakers Forum. I am not suggesting you apply for one, but this is how others solve this problem. They get to discuss new projects and shift easily into sales and orders.

But as of now? Discuss or sell, but not in the same place.

that's a really nice knife...
I can see really sharp jimpings on it.
It looks a bit like the SOG flash when closed I think :P
BTW, why don't you try to polish it? I think it'll be smoother and more "terminator" look. Oh, and since it's a terminator knife, I think the living tissue scales on the handle will provide a lot of traction :P
