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

Jakes working on the knives and ask me to post this. Nick yours is SICK with the change you requested on the finish! I'm gonna have to get another! :D
From Jake:
Got number 1 out of heattreat, handles are finished, blade is half banded. Gotta finish the backspacer but it should be done in a few more hours of work!!! Hers a his, its soooo smooth its not even funny. Little bit of lookup clean up to do and sand the bevels out. I'm jealouse, I want this one!

More to come
Jake Hoback
 
Nick went with polished Ti not Stonwashed and he went with showing off the grinds on the blade instead of Acid/Stonewashed.Jake did a video but it's not polished out yet.
 
Wow nice, looking forward to pics/vid...

Now how bout an update on the BLUE one???? :)
 
I'm really gonna enjoy this knife... I'm on the wait list but I'd prefer to grind my own blade from the .200" stock I mentioned earlier. It'll be y'alls first collab with FTWCM Knives!
 
I'm hoping Jake can post the Video of Nicks knife today. I can't get it to upload. You guys are gonna freak out when you see the action!!! BAM!!!!

This is going to be a balisong collab with Nathan Dewey.

Of course my super sized Alpha will be waved.
 
This is what I sent Jake...

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.
In addition... I'm not sure what the thickness of the framelock is but I'd prefer a minimal (.09" left to bend) relief cut on the bend. On second thought... I'd posted earlier about doing a collab and grinding my own blade for this knife. If you were to mail me the chunk of .200" with scribed "limits" such as where the blade will sit in reference to the spine etc and have the pivot hole drilled. Then I will do the wave and a killer convex chizel grind. I'd also like 4-40 screws instead of 2-56. Quarter inch pivot please as well as stop pin. Pocket clip mounted so that 1.5-2" of butt is exposed when in the pocket.

I'm hoping this MF'er will rival my Demko!
