Would you buy this?

[Damneddesigns]

I've designed a new knife. Last time I asked for feedback, it escalated into a huge argument so instead i'd like to know if this is a design that appeals to you. the gray handles represent Ti and the Black inserts would be CF etc held in glueless.

I'm pretty sure quite a few people would buy that. It's in that sweet spot of over 3" but under 3.5" that a lot of people like, and the design is very clean. Not enough wharnies with a nice clean design out there. Feels very Pinkerton in design.

It looks like Zero Tolerance made a Yojimbo flipper to me...I'd probably pass though unless the action was phenomenal.

I would pass too, just based on the lanyard hole position.

Good catch, that would drive me nuts too

Where would you rather see the hole? Would no lanyard hole be a deal breaker?

Thank you

I would rather see it right on the butt of the knife, or none at all. I know its “the norm” on the butt, but there is a reason for it, it works.

I didn't put it there to be unique. The way my clips sit with the 1 screw that holds it in place, i have no space at the butt. Chose deep carry over lanyard hole placement but it's easy to get rid of.

Pictures look like it would fit at the butt, but if it wouldnt, and you want to stick with deep carry, no lanyard hole is totally fine. Lots of people like deep carry. And lots like fobs.

I'll revisit it today. Thanks a ton for the feedback!

No. It’s hideous.

Cool

Not my cup of tea, but it'll probably drive some people wild. It's an outspoken design. I think it's one of those knives where you either love it or hate it.

I might if it would irritate M marcinek enough.

lol BUT what did I design it to do?

 

[CanadaKnifeGuy]

The liner lock turned me off. Otherwise, a handy blade shape!

The ergos certainly would.

It’s designed as a frame lock with the back insert covering a portion of the lockbar
