Late September update.

For those following and wondering what has been going on apart from working and family obligations, I have been looking into purchasing a few tools that I need, suppliers and water jet cutting facilities.

Thank you to American Metals Xchange Inc. and Andre Thorburn for their help in obtaining a sheet of  .160 6AL-4V Titanium.

As of today I am waiting for the water jet service provider to finalize my quote and then the first batch of Model 1s will be in the works.

On a side note, the Prototype has proven to be an adequate workhorse folder for me.

Below is a video of the knife being used.

After months of research, trial and error I have finally completed my first framelock flipper.

A special thank you to Andre van Heerden and Andre Thorburn, two custom knife makers, that have helped me to achieve this dream.
