Hi all,

Kim of RAIDOPS has designed a few new tools with a bat wing as his inspiration. These are pretty cool!

First up is the Delta Bat Boy, a knuckle/impact tool that incorporates the bat wing theme along with Kim's trademark skull design. it feels very much like a RAIDOPS Delta impact tool. The Delta Bat Boy could pass for jewelry, but I'm not sure if airport security would let it on a plane. It fits my hands and you have a choice of the pointy ends of the 'wing' or the skull between the fingers. This is a very nice Ti piece!

Next up in the bat wing theme is the Bat Claw, a smallish fixed blade. it's about the size of a neck knife, OAL 4.5" with a cutting edge of 1.8". Blade steel is D2 and the edge is very sharp. The knife is pretty stout with a thickness just under 1/4". The finger hole is large enough for my fingers and has had the edges rounded for comfort. It is currently one of my EDC knives.

Kim's quality is very high and I really like his playfulness with the bat wing design. There are more batwing designs that look pretty interesting. It's nice to see a maker have fun with a specific theme.

Worn as jewelery, it could be mistaken for "Thor's Hammer" which is often worn as a white-supremist/racist symbol.
 
That Bat Claw looks promising, any for sale?



OFTEN, I resent that remark, more a symbolic piece for luck IMHFO! I see most gang bangers wearing a cross, same thought apply there? Sorry, just rubbed me the wrong way
 
I wear a Thor's hammer. But mine is patterned off the Marvel comics.

And for the record: That is Thor's hammer, Mjolnir sitting in a Raidops Spartan. And I am the biggest comic fan in the world...or maybe just the best armed one.

^ +1. i wish they had a pricelist on the site. i don't want to bother contacting them if their tools are insanely expensive.
 
I've tried several different avenues to contact the company for info but have reached no one. I am forced to assume that they no longer sell.

I contacted him over a year ago about some of his Ti pieces & they were surprisingly affordable(under $100 IIRC).He also got back to me within a weeks time.
 
You could also search for Death's Head. It's Kim's forum name, and he handles traffic for Raidops. I dropped into his site from a Google Image search, and the site looks current. Might be worth a try if you're serious.
