c title...I know REKAT's working on a megafolder, a "giant Escalator" would be TOO DAMN COOL. Might I suggest keeping it just a hair under 5.5" to allow for the TX market as well as the huge Calif "unlimited folder zone"?

Your like a dog with a frizbee, you don't let go. We will be sending Spark a digtial photo of the Sifu. We showed the prototype at the TREXPO Show last week. The response was very positive. We will have a short run (200)in late May with any luck. We are thinking of going to a 1/4 inch Pivot and Lock we have some testing to do. The 3/16th Rolling Lock will take 580 pounds 2.4 inches from the pivot but a 5.4 inch blade is pushing the safty factor. So we do listen. A 5 inch Esclator isn't in the works and doubtful but who knows. The Sifu is secondary we have a very full plate as it is.
I will keep the forum informed as we get progress.
Sifu Specs
Blade Length 5.4
ATS-34 Blade
Handel Length 6.1
G-10 and or Aluminum Hard Anodized
1/4 inch Rolling Lock

That's great news! Can't wait to see the images here. Is the cost going over $200? and will the forum members get the first opportunity to purchase these?

Jim,

I saw and handled the Sifu at Trexpo. Trust me, you will love it. It has Jim March written all over it.
