THOR, the mightiest framelock ever made?

There will never be another THOR. One of one design. Although Reese will make you anything you like just not this same model again:cool:
 
VERY nice.

Personally the only thing to come close to this knife of yours that I know, are Crusader Forge's various folders.
 
I have owned several Crusader Forge folders, and IMO they don't even come close to THOR. They are great knives but the Ti is only .185 and the reduction is only .060. Not really anything special in that department. They are extremely well made, and uniquely finished though. If you guys really want I can take a picture of THOR next to my Metro showing the slab and cutout thickness:cool:
 
That thing is a beast! The only problem with framelocks is that no matter how thick the Ti is the cutout makes it weak. Framelocks can only benefit so much from thickness.
 
Yea but the cutout on this thing is more than twice as thick as your average framelock. There is a certain 5mm thick custom framelock I have seen where the reduction is less than .030:eek:
 
Gotta love Reese's work! Always late but worth the wait! I've been wearing my 1 of 1 Reese Ti fixed blade all week.
 
No framelock not even THOR, can even begin to compare to the strength and durability of a similar sized TriAd lock. Plus those weigh less than heavy duty frame locks, I still love slab folders though:)
 
I've owned 3 Reese framelocks and they are all exceptional. Almost Sebenza smooth. A Demko is a different but equal smooth.
 
That's a very cool knife.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but when you ask "the mightiest framelock ever made?" - wouldn't a one piece titanium framelock (such as the Lionsteel SR 1) likely be "mightier" than a two piece framelock like the THOR, even if the THOR is thicker?
 
This is what I'm waiting on from Reese. The last of his SS handle Hawks made to the same specs as the MT Hawk. Mine will be the only one of 12 with a pocket clip and a black rayskin inlay.

I owned a SR-1 for a good while, and the strength of that knife isn't that impressive to me. The stop pin is small and is held in place by a screw taking up alot of it's volume. The reduction is "normal" thickness. The steel insert on the lockbar is held in place by two small screws. The lockup would be more likely to slip than a Ti on steel interface...
 
Incredible! Congrats on owning a truly unique knife. I really like the blade shape..... I'd love to see a video review of it when you have time. :thumbup:
