I wanted to try and make the biggest lightweight folder possible, check it out!

It is about 8.5" long and weighs 50 grams, that's just over an ounce and a half. Ultralight!

The blade and spacer are .090" thick 6al4v Titanium and the scales are silver twill G10, super strong and light materials. There is nothing on this knife that will rust! I applied 72 Rockwell Tungsten Carbide to the edge for cutting durability. The Titanium has been heat anodized, I tried to do it in a subtle manner that still shows off the Titanium.

Incredile knife! I am really amazed at the talent here on BF and your knives certainly stand out among the best!
 
wicked. Make mine a linerlock or framelock with your fighter blade profile :D
OK, sounds good! Thanks!

A linerlock is a goal for this year, I can't wait.

Beautiful work. Love the blade design.
Very much appreciated!

Thanks! I am just happy to be here, we have the best makers in the world on this site.

That is great! What is the pivot and othr hardware material made from?
Thanks! The hardware and pivot is aluminum, it won't wear the Ti very quickly like stainless would. It's non ferrous and nothing to rust either. The hardware is also easy to remove and replace if it ever wears out. Titanium chain rings would also work very well, they are a future option that I consider.

That's something to be proud of! Probably the classiest mean knife I have seen.

Hearing that makes my day! That was my goal. Thanks!


Thanks everyone for the kind words! :D
