[peter r]

howdy all! been working hard! i have begun work on the omen flipper. she will be a large yet elegant knife with lscf scales over thick .125 ti liners.



were talking in the 10 3/4 inch range with a 10v blade around 5 inches.

here is the original drawing. i will likely remove the swedge.

i make a proto out of g10 first to see how things will go

Looks like another sweet lookin' blade in the works at Peter's Little Shop of Horrors Wonders!

edit: Keep the swedge!!

Kinda reminds me of a CRKT M16, except done well, and much larger! Looking forward to more pics.

I like it! Very clean lines and awesome blade-shape... :thumbup:

Personally, I dig the swedge...

Edit: I find myself returning to this thread to ogle the pix...

Oh man, that's awesome. Everything from the blade shape and size to the use of 10V is just fantastic. Looks like another home run!

 

[peter r]

[Alphahunter]

SHAZAM!!Looking good Peter! Can we say pocket sword???
How thick are we doing the blade? I can't keep up with you???? Lol!!!

 

[peter r]

.150 thick stock. it will be thinne when i clean it up.

 

[Alphahunter]

Ok, I can't keep up with you. Lol!!! I thought this was at least a month out. Ahahaha!!!!

 

[neuron]

.150 thick stock. it will be thinne when i clean it up.

Awesome!!! Between the large blade and the (relatively) thin stock given it size, this thing should be an absolutely wicked cutter!

Can I place my pre-order now, please?

 

[Tim616]

U BEST KEEP THAT SWEDGE. Looks awesome man, how much do you estimate for cost ?

 

[Alphahunter]

I'll run a pre order list in the dealer area with pricing after the project is complete.

 

[Charlie Mike]

Peter, what a great looking design , it has really elegant lines. I agree with Timberweasel that the swedge is nicer. I think it would help refine such a long blade. Your blade slot design is interesting. I'm not sure if you're intending this to be a hard use knife, but I would be concerned with how much material that is removing from the blade tang. Wouldn't that severely compromise lateral stiffness? I'm eager to see how this develops.

I like the blade to handle ratio - think it would look and work great with a melted edges swedge.

 

[peter r]

its a proto, so im open to design alterations. but the blade will be plenty strong. more to come tomorrow!

and neuron your on the list!
