Man I can't wait to get one of those! When do you expect to have them available? What are you thinking for pricing?

 

[mike nelson]

Ok, sry, will do. It looks like an interesting design.

 

[mike nelson]

i think so to the guy im working with on the design is VERY concerned about weight on this knife so i add the skeletonizing to make it lighter but still maintain the same style and size

got the blade rough cut out heres some pics http://s1145.photobucket.com/albums/o507/Mike_Nelson216/

what do you guys think of the progress so far?

 

[Wloch248]

Mike,

Good progress. Personally I think the blade is too upswept. It needs a little more belly towards the front.

Also is the lock going to be strong enough/have a large enough contact area?

Remember, this is just as a casual observer seeing as how I have not yet made a folder. Maybe it will look different when it has a bevel and it is all finished up.

i was thinking the same thing about the blade i think it needs some more flat area near the heel of the knife
the lock up seems to be plenty strong from the tests ive done this is just a test one before i start on the expensive stuff

 

[mike nelson]

starting on some new blade shapes today!! will post pics later
