Timascus billets..................Not a knife.........................yet.


Got some new materials in for the next folder I’m making. So far I’m only as far as the rough drawing, going with a timascus show side, stone washed titanium opposite side with a timascus clip on the stone washed side. Blade will be in armored core damascus with a compound chisel grind, hollow grind on the belly and a sorta hybrid sabre grind on the tip. Other than the drawing I’ve just been practicing the compound grind on some mild steel chunks before I start working with some nasty expensive material. Next step will be to prototype it outa plastic to make sure all the mechanics work with stop pin and pivot placement. Unfortunately with the work schedule this may be a few months out or more before it’s done.

All depends on how they turn out, fit and finish will have to be near perfect for them to be put up for sale. I’ve actually only got 5 knives to date that I’ve got completely finished, below is number 4.

Can’t wait to see the finished product. Wow!

The only ones that have it on the body like this have been the SA OTFs with the push button. As far as I’m aware this is the first DA OTF from Microtech like this. My thumb slipped the first time I tried to fire it. I also noticed that the knife can never lay flat because the switch is on one side and the clip is on the other side. I know clip can be removed, but I prefer having it. It’s a sexy little knife in any case. We’ll see what they do next.

One of the things that I love about the Infidel is that the switch slides up and down with a lot less force than the Microtech OTF’s. And The switch and scales have a really good solid grip. I’ve also got really big hands, so the Infidel feels more natural to open and close.
I never remove the clips from my knives either. I’ve got to have the clip.

Very nice. I have fired the infidel, and as you mentioned, the action is a bit smoother.

Ice or sapphire in those?

You have some extraordinary knives but it's hard to mount up to the eye candy in the original post of this thread.
