Just wondered

Seems like an easy grail. So, I kind of wondered too, if there wasn't one ever, why not? :)

Do think the mod might be doable?
 
I have never heard or seen of one. Deacon or Yab would be the ones to ask though.
 
Oooh I like that idea!

Sal had mentioned they might do a sprint run of a G-10, VG-10 Caly3, but Ti would be awesome!
 
... and worth every cent of that :) especially with the new vaunted backlock
 
Closest thing is probably the Ti UKPK, not a Caly though.:grumpy:
 
They are going to for the old Manix - but that is screw construction - which I suppose must bear on something - or at least the reason for the caly3 being pin

Don't recall seeing a pin construction Ti knife - still there's always got to be a first :)

Think it's more a question of design goals. The Caly 3 and 3.5 were designed to be thin, light, and compact. That's why pins were used for the lockbar and backstrap. Screws would have been larger diameter which, in turn would have meant a thicker lockbar and backstrap and a bulkier knife. The new Native V style midlock may be incompatible with those characteristics in a similar manner. There's also the chance that Moki, good as they are at what they do, may just not be equipped to manufacture that particular lock which may rely more on a combination precision equipment and skilled workers than on "old school" craftsmanship alone.

As for Ti and pins. Check out the Ti Delia below. There is also a Ti Police.
