I finally got the design to where it is pretty much there, and sent it in. I must say Spyderco R&D has been a pleasure to deal with. Peter Jhones has been friendly and professional with great communication.tonydahose wrote:good luck! i think that would be like getting a holy grail to any member on here.
There will probably be the capability for custom scales.DCDesigns wrote:I hope we can make scales on said folding swick!
I still haven't heard anything yet, but I've got my fingers crossed. I feel like I'm going to explode.

You're a very sharp guy Solidstate. If you've worked on this for as long as you have I'm sure most of the angles have been figured out :) Best to you, there is no such thing as a turnkey installation.

There is no word yet. I'm totally freaking out.
If they don't make it, I have to find a custom maker. I have the furnaces for the heat treat!
The really really funny thing about this is that my office mates are in Golden right now at an NREL conference, and I'm sitting in Oregon.

Solid, I wish you the best of luck.
Just having Spyderco review your design if something to be proud of.
Hope all goes well and I am seeing your design on Spyderco.com in the near future!

Just wanted to add one more good luck to the mix buddy. Can't wait to see what you came up with.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

News is in! They are going to go ahead and make a prototype to bring with them to knife shows!
You know what this means: I'm going to have to try to steal my own knife design at the OKCA!
