Sal / Mike J / blademakers, a quick question...

#1

Post by mmadison »

My dream folder is an Endura / Endela 4, wharncliffe, with Emerson opener (wave).

In a perfect dream world, K390.

Is this physically possible / tough enough (won't snap too easily) for the consumer market?

Mike J,

Would this concept suit MBS use scenarios?

I am sure you are all busy, thanks for your time.

There is a wave attatchment you can buy.

Dear mmadison:

Yes, that would be a very MBC-worthy knife. As VooDooChild pointed out, there is a 5x5 Pickpocket attachment for the Endura Wharncliffe, so all the resources exist.

Stay safe,

Mike

Thanks!

I have the 5x5 wave tool for my edc Yojimbo 2. Love it. I also have plenty of zip ties.

I am wondering most about the physics of the design. I.E. would it have to be saber-ground? Would the blade be strong enough to sell to consumers safely, etc?.

No, it would not have to be saber-ground - you could absolutely grind a wave into an FFG blade - or better yet, use that 5x5 pocket pick wave.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
