Nice!

Will you be building this yourself or do you have a maker that will be turning this into reality?

Well funds are low currently but that doesn't stop me from designing it. I will have it made from a reliable and quality maker. It will be a titanium frame lock non-flipper. It will likely be redrawn several times, I keep moving the pivot location and that changes the entire knife design.

I know of 2 that will take a unique idea and make them a reality; Alan Davis and Elliot Williamson (Ferrum Forge).

I have a piece from Alan but I have yet to get anything from Elliot although he has a high reputation and works with some of the best materials available.

Ferrum Forge has a website and a youtube channel so you can look into Elliot but Alan is only available through Blade Forums (that I know of).

Alan is also available of Facebook, I talked to him a bit.

I have a couple makers in mind, I just can't remember their names.

I have a trade offer: my Brous SSF for a Microtech Selectfire, thoughts?
I don't think I am a fan of the Selectfire.

I have decided to try and live with my ZT 0550 & Strider SnG and not buy anymore knives for the time being. I really love both of these knives.

Very interesting site. Lots more to the custom/collectible/harduse knife world than I ever imagined. Still haven't seen anything that appeals to me as much as the Strider SnG, plain brown/green/black scale and flamed back, plain blasted blade. Now if I could just find one in stock.... anywhere.-(P

I carry either a Case amber bone medium stockman when I'm off work, or a Vic Explorer SAK w/ glow in the dark scales in my bag when I'm at work. And on occasion I'll carry my grandfathers old Schrade Old Timer stockman (from back when they were American made).

Cool beans. I keep my fathers Old Timer in the console of my vehicle and still keep it razor sharp and pull it into duty occasionally to de-cap a stogie.-(P Also rotate my pops old Boker penknife and my grandfather's KeenKutter pen knife out of my pocket.:tu

Blade was a blast!!!

My fixed blades took a while to get here (I shipped them) but my folder is still probably a few more days out.

Here's a quick pick of the 2 I received:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps26aa8a60.jpg

Now the big one can't really be considered a pocket knife but the little necker will fit in your pocket just fine. The large blade was made by Mike Gavic AKA Gavko on Youtube and the little was made by Geoff Blauvelt better known as tuffthumbz (another Youtube personality). The folder is a lefty Norseman made by John and Eric Grimsmo of Grimsmo knives. I will post pictures of it as soon as I get it!

Found it. Was put in a keyed parcel locker on the other side of a larger box, effectively hiding it from sight until that locker was opened. Doesn't explain why it got put in there in the first place......... Pictures on my phone. I'll post up as soon as I figure out how to do it.:rolleyes:

To tide you over, here are a few more picks of the little neck knife I picked up at Blade. It is actually finding EDC time along side my folders. the handle is a little too thick to hide under a shirt but it fits in the pocket just fine!

Anyone know how/if Cigar Asylum is listed on Tapatalk? Can't turn it up on a search. Got pics on my phone and can transfer them to P-bucket if necessary, but it's a lot easier with Tapatalk.
