Wilson Tactical/Darrel Ralph folder

Now that sounds like the ideal way for things to work!

You get your knife in the quickest possible time, have a chance to carry and use it, decide if you want some extra work done on it and if so, what options you will go with, then just send it back in for a relatively timely upgrade or two. Cool!

Now for a few questions;

I am assuming that the inlays will be slightly raised above the handle slabs?

Will the woods be stabilized?

Will you be able to do stag (that would just be too awesome!) if it is shipped back with the knife or am I just opening a huge can of worms with customer supplied material and getting my hopes up?

Thanks, Darrel!

Sure!
Most materials will be flush to the frame. Like pearl, carbon fiber,
Some others will be raised like ivory and stag. If you have stag it would be great. Customer supplied materials would be just fine as long as we can work them into the frames.
This is strange you mentioned stag.
I just got a load of GRADE AAAA stag that is 10 years old stag.
It will be on knifekits.com in a few days for sale.
First come first serve. There will be about 100 sets.
 
A da may be available I will see and get back to you .
If so it would be the new S2 release slide forward bolster style like the stilleto I build.
I have upgraded that release to be even better.

DA?!?! :eek:

Cool I need one to go with my Apogee Illusion. Just might have to talk to you about a Pattern Welded blade also.

Damiscus and Carbon Fiber is quickly becoming my favorite combination. A year or so out would put it about right for the checkbook also. ;)
 
No kidding, Dwight! :) Darrel really knows how to torture us. That's good news that he's considering it...
 
The better news would be; he'll do it and we can afford it.

Darrel will you have any of these to play with at Blade?
 
We have protos now. We will be showing at the shot show and vegas.
The delivery we are shooting for is Blade show.
We will have protos there if they are not quite ready!
 
First, this is a beautiful, very clean tac/utility folder.
The concept of being able to upgrade per customer spec, is probably the most intelligent idea I've seen in quite awhile, since the customer has minimum downtime and can get exactly what they want without alot of cash up front:D . Now, if you could make a smaller version with say, 2.75 inch blade I believe Chris Reeve will have to change his underwear!

That would be the second time he would have to change his underwear, because I think he will have to change them once these hit the market. If he hasn't had to change them already. :eek: :eek: :eek:

This will no doubt raise the bar. A tough as nails, quality framelock, and ergonomic! Sebenza move over!
 
Sorry Brian I will not be at the march show.
And we have a few other ideas for differnt models down the road.

:D
 
I'm sorry to hear that, Darrel. Aside from the fact that you'll be missed, I'm looking forward to seeing one of these in person.
 
Dex,

See I told you the big bastid would change it. :D Man, all this updating is driving me nuts. :eek:
 
Yes I did the fat bastid shuffle Don
You still have to own the base knife and then get in line for the upgrades.


:p

No kidding! He is doing it just to piss me off :D LOL.
 
We have named the knife the Tactical Elite.
Number 1-4 4 being the carbon fiber, 1 being the base model.

AS for the clip being reversable YES IT IS
It fits the for tip up or tip down carry.

Im glad folks like the upgrade idea.
is also nice that you will get a free refurbish when you send it in.
the knife will be like new when you get it after the upgrades.
 
Would it be possible to maybe move those thumbstuds back a bit, so that when the knife is opened they end up snugged up against the scales?
The MOD folders are a great example of this thumbstud configuration.
 
Sorry Mike
If you look at the thread there are no changes allowed.
We will however wil offer you and upgrade to any configuration you want.
The knife must be bought first and you must get in line for the upgrade like it was file work and such.

Thanks
