Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: A little more work this weekend on one of the slipjoint functional prototypes I'm working on. Got the handle jig machined and started mocking up some simple handles for it. The green G10 is in place of metal bolsters for now. Those will be metal bars on the production knives. The black paper micarta represents the scale material that will be inlayed in the integral bolsters/liners. It'll make sense once I get to carve the handle out of the assembly. Decided not to use the red liner on the prototype. Next steps are to heat treat this booger, carve out the handles, and start test fitting. I'll adjust my CAD/CAM as needed during the fitting on this one so the production knives will be fairly well dialed in right off the mill with minimal hand work required to fit everything. Only needing to do the final sanding and polishing by hand is my goal. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Photo_Oct_06_2024__9_12_15_PM_jpg-3348205.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Photo_Oct_06_2024__9_12_22_PM_jpg-3348207.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Photo_Oct_10_2024__7_33_31_PM_jpg-3348209.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Photo_Oct_10_2024__7_38_58_PM_jpg-3348210.JPG Also cut the nail nick.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: Not to bombard the thread but I'm also working on something a little different than what I usually do. Our resident starving engineering student @eagarminuteman is working with me to design his own custom fixed blade. I believe he posted a photo of the 3d printed prototype I sent him but I don't think I've put up any renders/screenshots of the design so far. Here are a few for you guys to check out. A more modern style than I normally do but it's growing on me and a copy of it will likely find it's way into my daypack. It's fun putting together something for someone and specifying the options exactly the way they want it. We're planning on CPM Cruwear for the blade and some navy blue/ denim micarta handle scales. Some sort of kydex taco sheath at the end but that's still on the drawing board. I'm putting the effort into both this and the sleeveboard slipjoint designs so that I can add them into my offerings the future. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Minuteman_Render_2024-Oct-13_03-36-33AM--3348272.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Minuteman_Render_2024-Oct-13_03-24-50AM--3348276.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Minuteman_Render_2024-Oct-13_03-24-34AM--3348256.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Minuteman_Render_2024-Oct-13_03-47-47AM--3348289.JPG Thread bombing approved.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: I'm mostly interested in the handles, specifically the ring position and grip size. On a curved knife like a karambit, the ring position makes sense, same on the designs with the ring straight on the end of the handle. This style is a different beast. This one hangs tape well enough but it's only comfortable if it's held just so. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/78442/KIMG7555_JPG-3348608.JPG I'm trying to get something figured out that just falls into place in your hand. This slimmer handle seems better but we'll have to see how it is with scales on it. I'm thinking that scales will be 1/8" on this one as well. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/78442/KIMG1073_JPG-3348607.JPG That false edge looks wicked |

I'm not sure which one yet, but it seems like a good fit for some Hitachi san mai(even if he prefers Hitachi "white") Still, that could make a hell of a knife.
