I ordered the blade steel (cpm154) and the pivots today, cost me almost $300 bux. I figure ill order the handle material when I send the blades for heat treat.
Ok, So it's looking like there will be 10 to 15 at this point. I'm thinking 3 colors those being Black, Orange (the new Black) and OD Green.
When will be after I figure out Heat treating, and what it's going to take to finish them after that. If I have to hand sharpen them they will need to be sold as butter knives.
Price I think we can do right at $100. Unless heat treat turns out to be terribly expensive.
You can rub your penis on all of them if you like. :yaya:
I think It was decided last night that it would be called SDK FTFL. And there was talk of making it some kind of forum knife. And yes Kilroy I remember the price. :hug:
This is a collaboration knife, It is designed By ShortTime & Features my Crapsmanship. The Idea came about while working on Q's knife, and Gained some momentum from Doc's Big fat slab of Elmax.
Here is the original Sketch By ShortTime
And a rendering of the knife done in Solidworks
So I made a couple Blades Yesterday
And A couple Scales today
I'm not super crazy about how the Blue and Black G10 Turned out, but so far I'm very happy with The Knife. I still have to get some standoff's or a back spacer in it. I also need to have the blade Heat treated then I can finish this one.
What do you guys think?
