Any plans to do a black handle option, like the one in the photos you posted? Thanks.

Ill have the pre order launched within 2 weeks. I'm scrapping the prototypes for now and going straight to the production version. Turn around times will be RAPID. The Z Tuff models will start shipping within a month of the pre order. 3V models will take longer but I got the steel ordered at least.

Is there a difference in price between the z tuff and 3v model?

Is there a difference in price between the z tuff and 3v model?

The 3V version will be a $200 upcharge. That's just the actual increased cost for the steel and milling. I'd stick with the Z Tuff version. $200 is alot for 1.75% extra vanadium if you ask me.

(Zapp steels are about 17% cheaper than Crucible equivalents, and they can roll the sheets much closer to our final desired thickness. We have to grind away about 48lbs of 3V just to get it to the thickness we need. Thats around $1000 of wasted 3V for those counting)

Pricing will be:
$950 for Z Tuff
$1150 for 3V

BUT Ill be doing a $100 one time only launch discount for the first 100 orders. So thats $850 for your choice G10, Terotuf, or Micarta with a great kydex sheath.

Ill also have a few really cool special editions that will blow everyone away.

I think this is 100% the most knife you can get for your money. There's only one other high end production knife out there thats around this size and it costs well over twice as much....

I'm in for one in z tuff

Are you scrapping the prototypes or scrapping prototype effort and releasing them as the production version?

Just asking because scrapping is a bit sad

I'll finish them at some point and sell them as factory seconds or similar. They will have life!

I'm glad to hear that.

I'm glad to hear that.

As am I, after having used some of your work it would be a shame to let seconds go to there grave

Good god that looks amazing. I've been wanting one of these since you showed that first rendering. If there's a lost please put me on it.

 

[Private Klink]

I plan on getting one for a belated birthday (12/15) present for myself.

Hi Hunter with your history working with Nathan Carothers, are you able to use his Delta treatment protocol for the 3v Bowie?
