I hope it's a flipper !
Sweet!... 8 years later and we have an identical photo... that's progress!Come on 2019!!
Seriously, Jerry told me to expect The Folder to be released around Christmas.
I should've asked "Which Christmas?" Was that 2002 or 2003 when he told me that? Anyway, it was a while ago.

Couple things:
1.) Not my knife.
2.) It's not me...it's you. You're looking at the images weird.
Try standing on your head and looking at them from behind your computer monitor.....
You're absolutely right... It's difficult to tell any details. That is, unless you saw the other side, which was something like a clear polycarbonate for the purpose of showing the inner workings of this functioning prototype.
It's very clear that the pivot pin is just that. A tiny pin in that pic. The screw is not covered up at all.

I'll believe it when I see it. That proto shot with Bravado is almost a decade old.

Perhaps I should rephrase... Do ya really think that Jerry would release a weak folder? Jerry?? ...The man with the reputation for making nuclear tough fixed blades???
I think not.

I can't wait for this one.

Yes, I never said he's going to release a weak folder, of course not. Absurd!
I'm just saying the pin in the knife in that pic is very small.
I'm sure the pivot pin in the final version will be more like a railroad spike rather than a thumbtack.
If hype were dollars, Busse has made millions already on his folding knife.
A tough folding knife should be able to be taken apart and cleaned by the user in the field. Is this going to be possible with this knife?
One big reason I EDC a Sebenza over other very well made folding knives is I can completely take the knife apart to clean and lube it, and put it back together as good as new with only a simple Hex wrench as a tool.
While a rare feature of folding knives, now that I'm used to being able to take apart and re-assemble my folding knife without damage, I don't want a folding knife I couldn't do that to.

Something looks kinda off about it. Is there a reason the pivot screw is not centred? Is this just a rough draft of the actual design? does the blade have the nuclear meltdown or is it flat? I need more info on this thing.
