What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

Exciting times…I’ll need to start saving bottle caps now!

Say what now

Oh man … just when I thought I was done.

I'm in. Put me at the top of the list DM folder sounds good.

If Vader ever actually say that it must have been off screen

I should have gone with

the emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation

I have lots of things to figure out still. It could be a while before there is a prototype.

Yeah just toss my name in the hat. I have 1 maybe 2 folding knives on my list. Honestly I keep wondering if I'm supposed to buy a CRK because that's supposed to be what's next. I just can't see the cost benefit analysis working out with the collection I already have. A custom zaan is 6-8 years out last I checked....

A DM folder if it pans out... I'm in for a prototype or production model. I'll wait here

I think the closest he came to that was, ‘I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.’ Close enough.

My immediate assumption, based on a thread in GKD, is that David is now working up the courage to try folders...


At least that's my hope anyway.

I'm reverse engineering a Code 4. Why the Code 4?

A few reasons.

It is a lockback, and thus seems to me the simplest foling knife mechanism to work with.
I can make a tri-ad lock analogue by using a hexagonal stop pin, thus circumventing the patent issues (ie "cylindrical stop pin"), while arguably creating something even stronger than the standard tri-ad lock.
The Code 4 is the only lock back I have in my possession.
After creating those CAD files, I can mod them into any shape I want, while keeping functional the lock geometry intact.

And I feel like maybe I should include"because I said so"

 

[Wild Willie]

The appropriate answer is "No". I'm not gonna play with you guys anymore if you're all a bunch of "Trekkies". The two franchises are incompatible...

Another maker on another forum told me that back locks are surprisingly complex. Linerlocks might be a bit easier, but then I’m no rocket knife surgeon.
