Strongest folding knife !

[Folderguy]

Let the fellow put his video up in two weeks or whatever, and see what's there. In the mean time, piling on doesn't help anything.

Just because he doesn't have super duper pooper scooper marketing capabilities doesn't mean his knife won't be excellent.

The design needs obvious tweaking; let's see what he comes up with.

Laurence,
7 inch tactical blade would work. When it's folded some blade would stick out. Carried tip down in kydex or leather sheath with recces for blade end. Then if you needed to cut twine or rope you pull it out and use only blade protruding from end of handle. Then if you use requirements are more, deploy the full knife

That makes a lot of sense. :foot:


The worst of both worlds. A folding knife with the tip sticking out so it has to be carried like a fixed blade, then, when you do deploy it, it has all the disadvantages of a folder, i.e, it's folds in the middle.


No thanks, that design has been tried in the past, and you see how popular it has become. :yawn:

Nope. He doesn't have evidence to back up any of his claims. Which is the problem. Not his marketing capabilities. Those he got. He can whip up a story or a meaningless marketing phrase with the best of Madison Ave. "Fixed blade capabilities."

When you're right...you're right. Nailed it. :thumbup:

I gotta say, your design is sounding worse and worse. So, now the design will necessitate a sheath? Listen, if I have to wear a belt sheath, it's going to have a fixed blade in it. Come on, now.

Of course, that said, you'll have plenty of people who'll buy it just because it's weird looking, so there's that.

Was this inspired by the Venomtech by chance? :barf: I'm not meaning to "pile on," but these are just my honest thoughts.
What you said here just does not make sense in my head

The longer blade FFK version is relevant....just like a large fixed blade is relevant. Personally I prefer that no blade protrude when folded. But that is my opinion.

Pileups serve a purpose in posts with extraordinary claims. It would be harder to ignore a pileup rather than just one guy asking for evidence. The OP has already demonstrated that he has a tendency to dismiss objections of no evidence by just saying "I disagree". As mentioned, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Wait, wait. So, you're saying then that you don't and/or won't even prefer your own design?? WHAT?

Have you forgotten that you're the designer of this product?!

I'll be stopping by the fast food joint to get a hamburger. Personally, I'd have preferred a chicken sandwich.

Seriously, where these two post actually made my the same member? :foot:


I was trying to stay out of this thread, but things just seem to get crazier and crazier.

What's with your roughness? Some might call it attitude, but I won't.

Let's wait and see what evidence he provides. You seem quite certain that he has none, and you say so straight up, blatantly. What evidence do you have that he has no evidence?

Chill, dude.

Laurence asked you about making a large knife because the use case for a regular sized folder which "has fixed blade capabilities" just doesn't make much sense. Folders on the market today are generally the size they are for a reason. If you were in a situation where you needed a fixed blade, nine times out of ten, you'll just have a fixed blade.

Why does the handle have to not be able to cover the blade? Those long handled Cold steel knives The Espana I think its called? Those are modeled after a Spanish Ethnic folding Knife carried by shepards and the like. it been around for a few hundred years. You can make a 7" bladed folder with a handle that covers the whole blade and not be plagiarizing any other knives currently made.

Make this next Proto-type exactly what you envision. That's how you will save money.

Can't say as I agree with you on the pileups thing.

If I were he, I'd simply leave the forums and let everybody pile on, and then come back in two weeks or whatever it takes to put together his video and let it speak for itself.

That, however, is what I'd do, but I'm not he, and he'll do as he pleases.

Now, if indeed he provides solid evidence that his design as implemented and executed in an actual knife really does live up to his claims, that will be great. Will he? I hope so.

I think that if he provides actual proof, along with a completely redesigned concept, then he'll be good to go. As is, the product he's designing is something that isn't going to interest roughly 98% of actual knife enthusiasts. The good news is that actual knife enthusiasts are a very small portion of the knife buying population. This crap design will sell pretty well amongst the sort of people who buy MTechs and Smith & Wesson knives at flea markets. "Lookie lookie HERE! A knahfe that sez it turns intuh uh FIXED BLAYDE! Hooooo-WEE! Cain't wait tah git tah chopp'n!"

Criminy.

 

[Handwrecker]

I have a feeling the statement of the blade sticking out when folded is due to two things. First is that people said his original design should have a longer blade. Second would be that a longer blade would usually mean a longer (i.e. new handle) which would mean another prototype which costs money. Possibly using the same handle with a bigger blade?

I'm not going to pile on or attack FFK. I like seeing new makers and designs and wish him the best. But between the people constantly arguing with him and all of these issues popping up, this thread has become pretty entertaining.

 

[marcinek]

What evidence do you have that he has no evidence?

That's about the oddest thing I've ever heard here. My evidence that he has no evidence is that he has presented no evidence.

If you want to assume an extraordinary claim is true just because someone says so, knock yourself out. I'll forward you some of that "Nigerian email" I've been getting.
