Looks really nice michael. I like the moonglow. Tip up carry and deep pocket clip. I think it is my favorate so far.

Very nice design, slim and easy in the pocket.

 

[Michael Vagnino]

Thanks JB, Gary and cd. I think the design is a keeper. The Moonglow was something I wanted to try as and accent. I plan to offer the knife with or without the Moonglow.

Take care

Michael

Very interesting flipper there. Very good looking.

Would you mind explaining the "Atomik bearing system." Thanks.

 

[Michael Vagnino]

brownshoe, it's a caged bearing running on a hardened thrust washer.

I know it's the "new thing" but I've never been to fond of most carbon fiber handles I've seen. But on this one, it looks really good with the moonglow, and fits the style of the knife very well also.

Great blade!

Simple, clean but with a nice pop of color. Very nice!

Wow I love the look and it is looks fun to flip.

that's a beautiful knife. It really needs a lockface cutout though. Honestly, that is the biggest problem with most liner locks.

And yes, the music in your video is offensive. But thanks for the closer look!

I don't think it needs a lockface cutout. I had absoloutly no problem accessing the lock when I played with it. I think most people prefer that clean look. I like the music.

frenchmade, The lock is very easy to access. What, no sense of humor? John Prine is one of my favorite singers.
Kevin thanks for the plug. Give me a call when you get a chance.

Take care

Michael
