the "apex" has landed

[peter r]

my latest design for a heavy duty no nonsense folder, the apex.


OAL 9.5 inches
4 inch 3/16ths s90v blade
.2 ti framelock construction
mamba scale

she is in the rough stages (so are most of my knives at the moment)

That is one bad ass looking knife!

 

[Ankerson]

Sweet looking knife. :thumbup:

Only thing is if I could make one little recommendation.

Make the transition smoother where the blade starts to curve up from the belly to the tip. Now it looks like it stops then starts again, could be just me or the way the photos are showing it.

Awesome progress, peter!

Good suggestion, Jim

It's the 1st thing that I noticed.... Thinking about cutting something and using the whole blade, I know I am weird....

Great looking knife though.

its in the rough stage. nothing is even close to done yet. it will transition better.

Looks real good, I like the blade shape and am a big fan of the hole for an opener.

That was kinda what I was thinking, but I thought I would mention it.

 

[brets-ftw]

it looks pretty good right now lol, but i must say that lock bar is gigantic, i know its still being worked on but still wow

 

[SpartanSaint]

oh boy... care to pm me the damage on one of these bad boys?

 

[peter r]

messaged you spartan. and fyi, the ti side will be sculpted and have the same footprint as the scale side.

 

[Charlie Mike]

Tip up?

 

[Chris Pierce]

That is one good looking knife. Will there be other options for the blade steel?

 

[Jason B.]

Looks good, really like the handle. Can't wait to see it finished.

 

[peter r]

any steel you want basically. and tip up or down..
