Seeing as he hasn't posted it here yet (he might not know Bladeforums is back yet) I thought I'd share...

Well after a year of preperation and design, I finally brought it from paper to steel. It reminds me alot of the Vapor. But Ken saw it and said that it was nothing like it . It does have a much more aggressive rake to the blade.

Here are the specs.

Model Name is Pelamus. pel-a-mus short a.(part of the Latin for Sea Snakes)
liner Lock
8.25 open 4.75 closed
Blade is satin finished S30V with Bos HT
0.073 6/4 Ti liners, fully jeweled
3/4 ti back spacer
Heat colored Timascus bolsters
Ti thumbstud with inlay
F18 Carbon Fiber scales
Pivot bearing with Nylatrol and Phosur bushing
Inset lanyard pin (inset into back spacer)
Ti parts (except stud) anodized bold blue to match Timascus. Thumb stud is gold with blue shell inlay.

So whatcha think?
Sorry crappy photos.
Future folders will have dual thumbstuds. A ti pocket clip will soon be added for tip up carry on this knife. But customers will get to choose clip placement on future knives.

It also looks like this one will get a third screw in the boster.

Wow, I like it a lot. Really nice design there Ron, looks like it'd fit very nicely in the hand. Beautiful execution too! Overall very cool especially for your first folder. :cool:

Normally I don't go for recurve blades.... BUT on this one it just have to be recurve:D
A great overall design. This flow is not seen on too many folders!
 
I like it. Looks like it would just melt into your grip, and scream, "use me!"
