Your Opinions, Please, On My Latest Handle Design

Also, it needs LED's and a laser embedded. And maybe some texturing like the frag grips.

Seriously, is this a joke or not?

Im not being sarcastic. You try getting your hand bit off by a rocky mountain horned bear; and then finding out the hospital was all out or pirate hooks so you have to settle for a clamp. Then try and find a knife with clamp ergo's.

I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

Obviously, you did not read my post regarding the wing nut technology. If the superior handle shape wasn't enough, you should be able to tell that I thought long and hard about the wing nut, and its advantages.

My work will reward me handsomely, as soon as I get my patent.
 
Hahaha seriously I love this thread. I've seldom seen so much passive aggressive sarcasm in one place
 
I know you're probably not looking for suggestions, because clearly, you have a piece of perfection here. But I sincerely hope that those paperclips will be incorporated into the design.
 
I think you should add some tiger striping to it and a massive choil that decreases the usable edge by half. And chisel grind the blade so it won't cut straight, too. Make sure people know about your military/fighting credentials (can be real or made-up) to add legitimacy to the knife, since we all know that engineers don't design good knives; people that punch hard do. Then add some skulls and swords and things to your logo, and shut down any complaints people have about your knives, because if they don't think you make the best knives in the world, they're just haters. Give some away to the troops because almost anything is better than the cheap Gerbers they get issued and can buy from the PX; then you can claim that the knives they strap to their gear and mostly forget about are crucial to beating terrorism.

I get the impression your not a Emerson fan.
 
I sure hope the handle isn't sanded-down too finely. I like rough splintery material for maximum traction with wet/dry hands (or clamps or pirate hooks for that matter.)

Dig the racing stripe as well... doubles as kind of a nice visual tool to keep your fine cuts level.

PM sent.
 
That handle is much too small for any real mans hand, although it does look like it would be perfect ergonomically for a c-clamp which is an advantage for the growing number of c-clamp handed consumers due to the recent pirate hook shortage.
 
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

Seriously, you had me at the part about the wingnut...so utilitarian. On top of all of that, the fact that I can take the handles off and leave them home, or, if I'm in the mood, leave the blade at home and just take the handles has really sold me on this. I know the saying, "if you have to ask, you can't afford it," but how much?!?
 
Man o man. that sharpie stripe deal just finished this whole comic genius thread perfectly. i am still chuckling.
 
Just a few words regarding military credentials: I have in fact read several Tom Clancy books, and I once bought a pair of hiking boots at a PX. If this doesn't qualify me to design tactical weapons, I don't know what does. Of course, being familiar with the needs of special operators, I am designing a nylon sheath, with six possible MOLLE attachment options, and pouches for medical kit and space blanket, right there on the sheath. This creates a total survival package.

I could have easily slapped together something useless and ugly, like what you see in the pictures below. The problem is, I care too much to do that. I have no idea who put these knives together, but they used the same blade that I used, and obviously copied my guard design. I can appreciate immitation as flattery, but I must point out some important differences: These knives do not feature my innovative blockiness, nor do they feature the patent pending Wing Butt Technology. The handles are hopelessly curvy, and permanently attached to the blades. It is clear that the designer was working with less than half a brain!

Another low-speed sheath; no pouches for med kit and space blanket:

I really, REALLY, REALLY want to post something here. But I can't think of anything that hasn't been said already, and I refuse to take any of this seriously.

(Can I get one with Toxic Green handle blocks? And a black Wing Butt? So much cooler and more tactical that way)

Cool. If you don't mind my asking, how does your knife compare with the Dark Ops/Paul Basal Shadow? Is it just "better by a long way", or does it "totally frickin' blow it to hell, dude!"?

Totally blows it to hell. Mine you can use as a wheel chock.
 
There is innovation...and there is convention. In this case, I would choose a more conventional shape for a handle...but don't let go of your dreams.

What about the XTreme Gov Spec Tactical Wingnut/Throwing Star?

How much will that cost? Do you offer discounts for active high-speed deep-cover operators like myself?
