The " MEGA" W.I.P.

[peter r]

This is a thread for us guys into larger folders. If it big, beefy ,massive,thick,and large, it belongs here.

Ill intro mine first. It is a cleaver. It folds and it is 1/4 inch thick 10v. Ill get pics as i move along. The first of which will be tonight. I move pretty quick and im hoping to have her done by the ckgs show next weekend.

So on that note, more to come! And feel free to throw up your massive folder ( costoms only) pics and wips here!

darn alphahunter beat me to the punch

 

[nickortizzle1035]

do want!

 

[MountainBilly]

I like the style. What are the dimensions?

 

[b_rogers]

Peter, I love your knives. One day I will have one.

Can't wait to see all of the win in this thread! Peter if you make a run of this design please add me to the order list.

 

[peter r]

Dimensions. Well, i was going into the stubby style mega folder. Not necessarily the super long blade. So ill stick with a litle over 4 inch, 1/4 thick 10v steel. The construck will be a linerlock. But the liners will be .140 thick. Ill be putting titanium overlays on top of the liners with some sculpting. I dont want the overall scale thickness to be over .180. Because with a thick blade, the risk of an uncomfortable grip goes up with a too heafty girth.

 

[MountainBilly]

For that style blade 4"+ is massive. I'm a Spyderco nut so i love the deployment hole. I have big hands and don't like the way Ti scratches so I would favor a different scale material.

add-> If that two finger cut-out is sized like the one on the Lil' Temp this will be right up my alley.

 

[Alphahunter]

It's the folding version of the "Leave it to Cleaver" fixed blade

 

[hoxhunbe]

Put me on the list if you ever make more!

I'll be doing a detailed reveiw and comparison of the 2.

I think I have something that qualifies, pics here against a pair of my blue jeans. I think the deep black color of it really adds something.
