Hey all, just finished this one. This one is non-locking, it uses a ball detente to keep the blade open and closed. All Ti handle, overall length is 4 5/8" with a 2 7/8" blade. I'm thinking of doing a batch of these, let me know when you guys think.

Do a batch.
How did you get that color, Serge? And of course, I'd love to see a tanto blade on this one.
What a simple, fantastic design.

I really like the design. If the Joker, the (Heath Ledger Joker) would need an EDC, this could be it :-)
The straight razor look and rough finish really does it for me. The subdued front and vivid back is a really nice twist.

What steel are you using, and are the screws also titanium?

The only thing keeping me from considering it would be the groove along the spine, and the fact that the blade is 3 millimeters to long for legal EDC in Denmark.

Max bladelength for legal EDC in Denmark is 70 millimeters ( 2 3/4") non locking blade and no design features for one hand opening, in fact OHO is illegal in Denmark...... :-( and that makes us severely limited in our choices .
 
Man that is cool!

The colors and finish are stellar, incredible work.


Is that a bronze ano on the one side? looks almost orange... I was trying to get an orange color all week and that is just the best!

What kind of tumbler setup are you using? looks great

This one has a carbon blade, I'm keeping it. Future ones will have 154-CM.
If I make a batch of these, I'll make some without the blade groove and cutout in the handle so it won't be a one hand opener.

Thanks Daniel. The color is bronze on the verge of changing to purple. I use multi-etch and anodize in TSP.
