Ti JYD II SG2

Send an email to your phavorite pharmacy for preorder, ZJChaser.

Thanks for the kind words, wwells20. Sorry for writing as I did. Having some experience with the 13C26 JYDII and with SG-2 (Blur and Shun knives as well as Ryusen), the matchup of Mr. Galyean's design with that steel should please lots of knife users. The regular JYDII didn't need refinement or improvement, but it's nice that two versions of it in SG-2 will be available. I'm jonesing for the black G-10 with steel liner-lock, but can see why people are crazy for the subtle grippiness of titanium monster framelock.
 
So if these ship this month, will they be available in November? Do you know who will have them available for sale? They look great!

You should have seen the meeting we had with Tim trying to convince him to put the thumb stud on the Lahar!

Funny for me to find out. :) I've been just thinking about removing the studs from my Lahar, they are redundant for me there.

Yea it's funny, you hear it on both sides in situations like these. Everyone has a preference, and the production combo you finally sign off on doesn't always satisfy everyone.

If we could only come up with a knife that had everything for everybody...think it would sell then?

j5, you should be able to find these at all your local knife outlets, at least while supplies last.

How about a Cyclone (both full-size & the "Mini") that is drilled and tapped for both tip up and tip down (as they are now), as well as for both right-hand, AND left-hand carry?...In other words, have 4 sets of drilled & tapped holes rather than just the current 2 sets of holes.

Here you go. Engagement is bit off due to this piece being a pretty rough proto, but you get the idea. I believe the lock measures in at .130 vs. the .070 liner lock.

Thomas, how thick is the material left in the relief cut?

Hey Glockman,

If you can bear to part with your Cyclone for a little while I'll bet that STR would be willing to hook you up.

If I had any $ to pay for it to be done, and to pay for the shipping, I probably would, but for now it works out ok as I carry my full-sized Cyclone in a horizontal sheath on my "strong-side", and my Mini-Cyclone weak-side in my right front pocket.
 
logican,



A .045" thickness of the lock relief is more than sufficient for this application. Could it be thicker???? Sure, but there are some compromises that must be made in a production setting. The thicker the lock relief, the more we will fight sticky locks and poor flipping action.



I would hesitate to call the JYDII "Tank Like" I would say the JYDII is more of an "SUV"

The Ti handles make the knife very light, and the knife is much thinner overall than the G-10 scaled liner lock counterpart. I think the ZT 0301 would fit the "Tank Like" bill.

Tim, thanks for the very straightforward response. I now understand the reasoning behind it.

Where are you guys pre-ordering? Can't find it listed anywhere yet.

You can call your favorite dealer and ask them when they do arrive if they will email you and let you know it's available.

Another lefty vote for holes on both sides.
