I am sure the title has you wondering what's up with Mike naming the Cheyenne a Stealth.
Well to make a long story short, remeber the electric shaver commercial where the guy like the shaver so much he bought the company?
Well I did not buy out the James Brothers but I did buy the exclusive rights to distribute every knife they ever make. And they will probably make the Stealth line from here on out. Cool huh?
Anyway the Cheyenne is just way to cool. Got my hands on one this morning. Jim, at James brothers, sent me one next day air and folks this just aint another auto. This thing is really cool.
The Cheyenne Automatic has an integral axle system that removes the need for any through pin or pinch bolt, thus making the blade virtually free of side play or the need for adjustment. I mean this thing is tight, the one I have here has NO PLAY!
The unique Lock/Unlock system catches the blade on its outward movement, reducing recoil, allowing firm lock-up, and superior
knife control. The basic mechanism is similar to the proven ones on the market now but the quality on this one is dead on. The tolerences are only comparable to Microtech.
The cool part is not only the fact it has and needs no pivot pin. But the blade actually rides on precision ball bearings at each side of the blade and they create zero friction so therefor zero wear. And the action is oh so smooooooooooooth.
The body is made from hard anodized 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum. Great stuff and easy to work with and you guys love it anyway.
Now the other cool part is the USER removeable/replaceable scales. Currently they are made from exotic hardwoods, micarta (the one in the picture is white linen micarta) and many other different materials. We will have a limited supply of different handles so look for your dealers to have slim supplies.
The 3 1/2" blade is ATS-34, hardened to a Rockwell "C" scale of 59-61. Just right in my book. Machined (not ground) to precise tolerances and honed to a razors edge. The blade even has a machined blood groove which adds a really nice touch. Also the back spine has thumb grooves for a better grip.
Precision engineered and hand assembled, the Cheyenne auto is without a doubt the finest auto of its kind and the price is right. The knife measures approximately 8" when open and approximtely 4 3/4" when closed.
As with ALL Stealth knives each Cheyenne comes with full manufactures lifetime warrantee.
Also the clip is cool (see pic).
We should begin shipping them very soon to your favorite dealers. Dealers interested should email me for prices. Sorry World Of Weapons does not sell to the public so you will need to go through dealers. As dealers sign up with us I will refer customers to you when they contact us. Look for a review in the mags comming soon and ads will start soon after the new year.
