Well after the WIP thread people wanted to see some final photos of the finished beasts. Here they are!
Blade: 5.25 x .25 Crucible CPM-3V Steel
The blade is hand ground with medium distal taper full flat grind. The clip has a faux bevel to increase tip piercing capability while maintaining a healthy amount of steel for tip strength. A flipper deployed blade design that allows for better muscle memory control on rapid deployment and positive engagement even with the use of gloves.
Handles: .190 Grade 5 Titanium Ti6Al4V
Ti6Al4V is commonly used in the aerospace industry because it is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties. When used as a locking mechanism Ti6Al4V reduces weight and adds abrasion resistance that keeps lock geometry in tolerance under hard use. A carbide finish is applied to the lockface for smoothness and increased lock life.
Pocket Clip: .25 Grade 5 Titanium Ti6Al4V
Heavy duty pocket clip will withstand shearing forces of daily use. Oriented in a tip up configuration to aid in the use of flipper pad upon drawing the knife from the pocket.
Pivot: Micro Roller Bearing Pivot
Eight captured roller bearings made from hardened 52100 steel allow the heavy duty blade to be deployed friction free. Typical nylon washer systems must trade a tight pivot for blade action smoothness. The roller bearing system achieves the strongest pivot with the fastest blade deployment.
.25 Thumb Stud/ Stop Pin
Made from hardened stainless steel, this oversized pin insures a bank vault lock up that will not fail under stress.
.290 Tri-barrel Stand Offs
Made from hardened stainless steel, these oversized stand offs insure a centered blade and strong construction.
Steel Detent Ball
Extra-large 3/32 detent ball is set deep into the blade to hold the massive blade closed and snapped into place.
Dimensions:
Open- 12.6
Closed- 7.3
Blade- 5.25
Now a few pictures with 5.56 ammunition for scale...
And finally a few videos...
