Next design from Kershaw- what do you say?

Tim, nice Blackbird avatar!

Now that would be a cool theme for a custom knife (and eventually production), all black, mach 3+, and lots of corrugated titanium.

Certainly would be a interesting textured handle.

oh my poop...

that looks awesome.

I like it!

Add another vote to the "PLEASE redesign it into a production version!" count. If possible, manual so Aussie customs won't impound it?

I know it would take extra $$$ and may be a bit of a PITA, but if
you knew someone here in the states that could take the torsion
bar out and mail them separately you would be good to go.

Seems I seen someone from Australia say that once you have the knife,
you're legal........??

Hey Tim, remember this knife? After I saw these pics, I fell in love with the design.

Anybody interested in a production version? I am!!!

Sorry about eating up the bandwidth, but this knife is so nice I wanted to be able to look at again as this thread grows...

Yeah, AOs are legal by a technicality, but our customs officials have stated that they will lump AOs as autos. Legal to own, but not to import. Out of curiosity, how easy would it be to flick it open without the torsion bar? Flick/gravity knives are in the "definitely illegal" zone as well, so that might also stuff things up. If it's fine on that count though, then I might be doing that!

The outbreak is also a very nice looking knife. I really like the looks of the blade, except for the recurve. Hard to sharpen. Maybe not a knife I would buy, but still some fantastic knives!

If who ever shipped you the knife would tighten the pivot screw
down pretty good, you couldn't just flick it open.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Shipping the parts separate wouldn't be breaking the law would it...?
Once you get it home and put together.......you're good to go.

If you do go this route, I'd have them shipped maybe a week are 2 apart.
