the "Rapture" W.I.P!

[peter r]

here it is,

a little background first. alphahunter and i decided a while back that we wanted to make a rin of 25-30 knives. so we went back and forth and came up with a design we liked. i made 2 prototypes since and decided on a final configuration.

we opted for a full titanium tank. it will have 3/16th thick ti frame scale and spacer, with a full 3/16th s90v blade.

let the W.I.P begin!





here are the pieces after drilling counterbores and after the initial milling of the flutes.

[Thrill]

Ti goodness. Looking real nice.

 

[capid1]

Any lefties planned?

 

[peter r]

Update!



here is the overall outline of the knife

and a look at my knife boxes and new blasting cabinet!

blades are being hand rubbed now for prep for stonewashing!!

 

[Alphahunter]

The boxes look great, Peter!

 

[peter r]

[neuron]

[Dunny153]

[EricV]

Beefy!

 

[Alphahunter]

I'll be starting a pre order thread in the dealer area once the proto is complete.

 

[chavez556]

That looks what's the price point ? $100- $150 ?

 

[Shorttime]

$100-$150?!? Count me in!

I doubt it, though. Good tools = Good money....

 

[DallasSTB]

I'm thinking $400-500 probably seeing the work that's going into them.

 

[chavez556]

I know I was just kidding ... Mr. R has very reasonable prices for high quality materials .....

 

[Alphahunter]

Trust me. You guys will be happy with the end result.

 

[neuron]

I'll be starting a pre order thread in the dealer area once the proto is complete.

Sweet! Can't wait to see the finalized proto and decide whether to get in on the pre-order!

 

[peter r]

one is done, hand rubbed blade. pics tomorrow...... most will be stonewashed, a few blasted and a few hand rubbed.

 

[Alphahunter]

Good deal!
