Yes, I know there is a sub for knives but I see cool shit posted here in GD by people who aren't in the sub then forget what the title of the thread was and then get bored trying to search through every random knife related thread in GD.
This is what I usually carry for long bike rides: 
 A waved Spyderco Delica and a Kwaiken by Dynamik Blades aka Smithy

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: Sorry I've been absent for a while. Traveling, kids sports, excuse, excuse... I spent some time recently working on packaging for my knives. I'm inching closer towards selling them so I figured some time invested in coming up with decent packaging will be worth it. Here's what I've come up with so far. I may change up the insert material but it's a start. I'm also thinking of removing the "grip holes" in the insert. They look big but any smaller and finger tips can't get in there so I may just eliminate them and let the buyer turn the box over to get the knife out. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Photo_Apr_28_2024__5_24_12_PM_jpg-3202810.JPG Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: Sorry I've been absent for a while.

DFARM's kids could help. I've also been working on replacement handle scale designs for some inexpensive Cold Steel knives that will be made from much nicer materials than the molded plastic and will allow the use of the Spyderco standard wire clip on either side. It was a project thought up by a friend and given to me to bring to life. I will likely machine out a few sets over the next week or two. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Tuff_Lite_2024-May-01_04-12-23AM-000_Cus-3202817.JPG great knife |

Your new scales fix that problem nicely. Do you have more pictures? What materials are you planning on using? @MaxxII I do have a few more renderings. I haven't cut any actual parts yet but will likely cut a set out this weekend. I'll do prototypes in aluminum since it's easy and inexpensive to work with while dialing things in but really pretty much any material could be used to make these. G-10, titanium, aluminum, micarta are all possibilities. We're planning on some patterns and textures on the scales as well but haven't designed those yet. Need to get the geometry of everything dialed in and then can work on the cosmetic details. These will change the Tuff-lite to a tip up carry, that was one of the driving features we wanted. It will also have clip mounting locations on both sides for left or right handed users (clip shown in photos is for left pocket carry). We're adding bronze washers to the pivot. Currently the Tuff-lites only have a single teflon washer on one side of the pivot. Most of the original hardware is retained with this design but the two rear screws are replaced with larger screws and threaded standoffs. Render shows hex drive screws but the screws we sourced all use the same torx driver as the original pivot screw. The backspacer could be a different material than the handles as an accent. Completely reversible, bolt-on upgrade. Click To View Spoiler |
