This is what I've been working on full-time for more than a year.

I've been keeping it pretty quiet and now, at Blade '07 it's making the debut.

Response has been really positive so far by those that have been able to handle one of these.

I'll have a lot more detailed info on an all-new site soon. Right now, my poor site is badly outdated and doesn't reflect this project at all.

Still, here's a advanced look. Hope you enjoy it!

:thumbup: Pretty nifty,That's the sort of thing you name after yourself and become a household name.Best of luck.
 
I fail to see the similarity other than that the Boker has a clip that retracts.

Differences:

1. The Boker clip does not address one of the primary objections to pocket clips--namely their interference with the knife's aesthetic.
2. It operates on a different axis by a different method.
3. Since the Boker clip clips on the conventional axis, it does not benefit from the extra security the slight twist of the clothing provides (a point not overlooked in my patent.)

Similarites:
It's a clip that retracts.
 
Nice innovation, Joe. Good looking design; it has a timeless flow to it with the clip hidden. I wish you good success with it.
 
Show off! JK that is a great and functional design. The only problem I have ever had with clips is the look... You have solved this problem.
 
Elegant solution.
Elegant knife, too.

Good luck on this, you deserve it. It's a real advance.
 
incredible design. looks outstanding. hope to see that in an issue of blade. and just when i thought that there was hardly anything left to invent as far as a pocket clip goes you come out with that.
