Arlee Niemi makes the world's strongest folder.
This knife is different. It is a knife designed by someone who admittedly knew very little about current trends and locking mechanisms, but who did know a bit about machining and engineering.
The Megaladon is a brute, weighing in at over 8 ounces and requiring a stout sheath for a comfortable carry. The blade is ground of S-30V to a good working edge, and the handles are G-10 with a grippy pattern. As most of you know, the knife is an auto.
I find it odd that the worlds strongest folder happens to be an auto, but hey thats how it works sometimes.
I have subjected this knife to stress and torture that would have made 95% of tactical folders wilt. It is good . Real good.
The "Clamshell" Lock as I like to call it locks up tight as a drum with zero play. If I was a construction worker, or a lineman, or a soldier I would want a knife like this. Brutally efficient and strong, this is a concept that deserves to be developed further.
Hopefully some of the manufacturers are looking....
It is my deepest hope that Mr. Niemi makes another run of these knives or at least can figure out a way to make them a bit easier for his own sake.
A pocket clip would be nice, as well as a bit more ergo handle (a guard would be nice..)
What do you say Arlee?
How about a Megaladon II. I will take another. I suggest that if you start taking orders now, you could sell 40-50 real quick.
Make a few changes and lets get the worlds strongest folder out there in more hard user's hands.

so some Einstein doesn't get all pissed off and take it seriously.
