Hello dear friends,
A revolution is to happen into the 'hive' soon and this knife is the second 'teaser' - named 'SENTINEL' and this will be the classy part of the project.
So, with God's good will today i present you the 'SENTINEL' in a SPECTRE Edition, stylish workhorse presentation - full size, titanium frame lock folder.
Built around a titanium 'core' this folder is a gorgeous cutter.
An aluminium/vanadium alloy, Grade 5 TA6V titanium offers an excellent compromise between mechanical strength, toughness and ductility hence it was the choice for the mechanic frame of the folder.
The detent ball is high quality ceramic for an ever lasting smooth action without deformations.
All screws are precision machined blackened steel, the stop and pivot pins are hardened, precision ground 400c stainless steel so no wear in there even after prolonged years of use.
The blade slides on phosphorous bronze washers with 'grease pockets'.
The blade is made using the high carbon W2 tool steel (beware it is not rustproof but you know me - i am the carbon steel guy
), with a high flat grind and a well presented hamon. The blade comes razor sharp.
SENTINEL PERFORMANCE 'EDC RAT' edition features on short including new features:
- W2 high carbon tool steel, with hamon
- full Grade 5 TA6V titanium frame (SPECTRE EDITION spec) - smooth stonewash, anodized 'EDC RAT' finish
- precision chamfered edges - new feature that offers consistent and crisp edge chamfering
- phosphorous bronze washers with 'grease pockets'
- screws are precision machined blackened steel
- the stop and pivot pins are hardened, precision ground 400c stainless steel
- carbidized lock face
- custom hybrid thumb stud (stainless steel with brass insert)
- bronze pivot screws accents
- the blade is surface flattened on a new generation high end surface grinding machine with tolerances from 1 to 3 microns.
- the stop pin is taken to size by precision grinding it instead of using the lathe which offers microns precision and better overall fit
- all Ti scales are cut on a new, high precision, micro waterjet machine.
OAL - 7.87", Blade - 3.55"
The price for this SENTINEL SPECTRE 'EDC RAT' is 370 usd (OPTIONAL - please add 20 usd for a solid carbon fiber milled pocket clip or 30 usd for a solid cross cut exclusive carbon fiber milled pocket clip). Express shipping included (for non remote areas).
All the best, God bless,
Bogdan
