The REK Sparrow front flipper thread

Ordered some proto sparrows from Reate... Hoping to have them make me a production run. Modified a few things!

I've been VERY particular with them and so far they are putting up with me so that's good ๐Ÿ˜‚

I thought that was a good idea - I'd love to get one for EDC, and wont feel as bad using one as I do my first one ๐Ÿค—
 
Time for 2 Damacore customs with damasteel accents. Any scale texture ideas lmk guys! I'm all ears. Also may do laser work on the scales of one? Not sure. I'm thinking the groot texture for at least one.

So far I've got the blades surface ground and handrubbed to 2k grit and I tuned the action in addition to lapping the pivot bushing. Feels like glass with no play!

I changed up the design a bit on the internals so the pivot barrel will continue to function like a bushing yet be 'captured' in each scale.

And yes all the customs run on pb with a lapped internal pivot hole for perfect tolerances ๐Ÿ˜Ž

DamaCore?! Why do you do this to me Josh? I have a family to feed! ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿคฃ

I have to say, the flintknapped look is still my all time favorite handle design on the Sparrow. Might look kind of off with the fancy DamaCore though.

If you go with laser etching, all I can say is that I recommend etching it pretty deep. etching, anodizing, and then sanding the flats back to raw titanium would be sick too.
