That's one serious looking bush knife.

 

[Mecha]

Thanks Nighthaxan~ The final version will be bigger and beefier and heavier.

Bush craft number one for Mars Expedition....Yeah!

 

[safetyman]

Wow, that's a first!

 

[fishface5]

super-cool. After handling some mecha blades in Eugene I want one! Someday soon . . .

 

[thomdarrah]

Is the display stand included?

Is the display stand included?

Well, I would make a new one (a bit nicer) if it was wanted!

 

[JayGoliath]

Holy crap. What a Jungle King!

 

[TRog]

Very nice! How much does the sheath weigh?

[Mecha]

Thanks Lycosa, Fishface, Jay et.al., I appreciate your enthusiasm, HA. :]

TRog: The sheath weighs about the same as the knife; I'll find out the real total weight later today.

 

[Mecha]

The sheath weighs 12.6 oz, and the blade weighs 11 oz, for a grand total of 1 lb, 7.6 oz.

What is the Rockwell on the blade? Thanks.

 

[Mecha]

fastone052: I haven't been able to test the latest pieces, but so far the beta ti blades have tested close to or slightly above rc 50 on the spine.

 

[fastone052]

This is so tempting. Is this also capable of cutting through cans like the swords in your videos?

 

[Mecha]

Hmm, you just gave me an idea for a chopping video with this thing.

I think it is totally capable to split a spaceship and still slice atoms out of molecules.
