I think this knife might be growing on me guys! The blue anodization is killer I wish someone would stonewash the screws and pocket clip instead of the mystery black coating.

Hey Chester would you mind posting one more picture showing the blade stock?

 

[chester22]

I suppose haha

Mines waiting for me at my house. Totally forgot I had a pre-order in and it showed up. Hopefully I can find a way to keep it

Black & Gold!

The colors of my alma mater , I am so doing that when I get one. Saving up for the 0801CF first

 

[chester22]

I figured I'd take it apart if people wanted to see that too!

Thanks for the pics, Chet! Its a pretty ingenius design to have the LBI double as the over travel stop.

It is so close to the perfect knife. How would this knife serve as a fire and rescue knife, without the jimping though? Just asking.

I'm from New York and I tighten screws with my fingernails, I straighten off-center blades by yelling at them to get back in line, and I sharpen knives by stropping them on my forearms.

I've been trying to grow some torx-shaped fingernails for a long time. Any pointers?

Uhhhh... What? Who said anything about fire and rescue?

 

[chester22]

I don't think I could put a fire out with any knife...

GOD I WANT ONE! How about orange anodizing on the outside and black inside the grooves?

A few quick notes:

- The blade is 0.156" thick, the same thickness as the 0560, 0550, 0300, etc. It's plenty sturdy.

- The handle is much slimmer than a 0550, but thick enough to provide a comfortable grip. It is also slim enough to carry discreetly and comfortably.

- The handle is solid titanium with deep grooving. It's remarkably strong, and the texture should provide a sure grip. A lot of people have referred to this a a gentlemen's knife, but we think it would make a good work knife in most conditions.

Indeed! That was my thinking as well. Im not afraid to use mine whatsoever. Its definitely strong enough to be a heavy use folder, but as the overall lines and look of a gentleman's folder.

I did. Looking for a gift for my nephew who's in that line of work.

Thanks Jimmer! :thumbup:

Like I said, looking for a gift for a young kid who just finished fire and rescue training. I understand they carry knives, but I don't think they use them to put out fires. Maybe a little squirt gun embedded in the handle?:thumbup:
