See The Future...... CyberKnife Ad....

This CUDA doesn`t seem to have the nifty CUDA opening mechanism! All I see is a thumb stud. What happened to the old mechanism?
 
If these are make form recycled boards then the handle material is going to cost way less than standard handle material. Yet it seems that cost saving is not reflected is the cost.

Nice work Joel. Looks sharp.
I guess now every computer techie can carry a knife on the job without looking too conspicuous. We should ask Silverwingie Kestrel if all her friends would take one to work

Come to think of it, they'll probably hide very well in the middle of an IT toolkit.

Hi Arizona!

Did you get your knife yet?????

Hey Joel,
yes and no. My wife just called and said that FedEx dropped it off, but I'm still 2 hours and 75 miles away from it.

Grrr... I can't stand the anticipation any longer

Yours was the first one to ship out!

If that helps...!

I'm holding mine as we speak.

Sorry I couldn't resist!

Take care!

LOL...Rub it in why don't you

Well, I hope I don't get a speeding ticket ont he way home now, but "Polaris, here I come"

Another point to the already pointless argument is that the boards didn't have to have actually been USED in anything to be recycled. They could very well be quality control rejects that never made it into a computer, radio, fight navigational system, etc. Therefore, no diodes, capacitors, controller chips, or anything to remove.

All I can say about the knife is...FINALLY! A Camillus I like! (And KEEP that stupid CUDA knob away!)

Good point, Joel. I hadn't considered pc QC rejects.

Take care,

WOW, a really heated Y2K Debate!

If one really must know, send it to me, as I know my ED-XRF knows the answer!

However, prior to the analysis, my money is on HSO!

Well, I think it is one of the niftiest knives I have seen in a long time. The <u>only</u> thing that is going to keep me from buying it is the liner lock. But, those scales just might overcome my aversion to liner-locks. I don't care if it does contain lead solder. I don't plan on eating it.

Circuit boards are probably as difficult to work as G10...
I don't knoe if it's more expensive or not.

Woah, fellas! There's no bet here, although a little wager with a new Cyberknife as the prize could be interesting. N2S voiced a valid concern and as an H&S professional with a little experience in this area I thought it was appropriate to provide a little input before that little spark became a flame (sorry about the pun). The two best sites for information are a PWB industry organization and the EPA. The Printed Wiring Board Resource Center site is at http://www.pwbrc.org/. The EPA Printed Wiring Board Project site is at http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/dfe/pwb/pwb.html.

I've made several assumptions about the source of the boards and we'll find out if they're correct when Will gets back to us with the information. (I personally like the idea of recycled boards being used for something other than going to a waste facility.)

Remember the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

Hey, Valmet. So what toys do you have in your lab? Have you ever played with a partial vacuum scanning electron micorscope with X-ray spec.? Nice toy and you can image and analyze a Hershey bar in the thing! Ah, for the good old days (said wistfully).

Take care,

Mike

Joel,

Cool ad for a cool knife! Great job!

I wish circuit boards had been used for the first BladeForum.Com knife. I think it would have fit in well for a knife that was the result of a community on computers.

Hi HSO,
Well, here are a few:
PE Optima 3000 ICP, Finnigan ICP-MS (Magnetic Sector), PE 4100 GFAA, Scintag XDS 2000 XRD (Thank god we finally got NT for the thing last month!!
biggrin.gif
), SPECTRO EDXRF (That's what I'd use here, and it sure beats the hell out of those "waste too much time" wavelength units!;D), 500 MHZ GE NMR, HP 6890 GC-MSD System, a Shimadzu CHNS, and a whole bunch of "Dead Soldier" toys that others use that I try not to think about!
biggrin.gif
YES to #2- I sometimes, last time was like 6 months back
wink.gif
, have to fondle with this OLD Amray SEM with a Tracor Chemical Analysis unit. However, we have a Specialist here who runs a decent SEM, a Phillips, and a TEM, in our EM Lab.

I wasn't trying to gas any fires here

, it's just that I have people coming in every day who want me to find Pb in everything, and usually, it ends up with me going on a quest for the HOLY GRAIL!

Hell, I'll buy one of these toys now, Pb or not to Pb!

Hot off the press:

Camillus Cutlery is using REJECTED,new production circuit boards for the CYBERKNIFE scales.

These are not used, recycled, rehashed, old, or found at the dump.

These are new,unused, but rejected for computer use for one reason or another.

The material cost is very similar to other handle materials (G10). The major expense regarding handle materials is the amount of machining, not the material cost for most production materials themselves.

The Cyberknife has a thumb-bob and no Quick-Action feature.

Why?

This enables us to sell the CYBERKNIFE to a broader audience and keep the price under $100 MSRP (retail).

In addition, it sports the new CSM (CUDA SLIK MATTE) finish which I believe pleasing, more practical alternative to standard bead-blast finish.

response to this Item has been overwhelming.
It is our hottest knife for Y2k...
Maybe because it is compliant?
