This set of pics will either give you sweet dreams or nightmares, depending on your technical leanings!
Either way, it shows you a small part of the work that goes into your Forum knife, and all GEC knives for that matter.
It's a wonder these guys can make a buck! (Pun intended)

The pics start from tool steel blocks, fresh from heat treating, and ends with machined dies that punch out the scales for our new pattern!
I will leave technical questions to those smarter than me, so, please contribute if you are qualified. I do know the machining is by EDM! And that water flows downhill!
