Magnesium Military Date?
Magnesium Handled Military Date?
Does anybody know when this might come out? I always wanted one with a titanium handle but magnesium will do fine.

It depends on the "reaction" it gets at the shows. Since it is only a proto it may never come out. Then again it might come out 2 years from now. That was the wait for the Chinese Folder. I saw a proto at Blade, and 2 years later Spyderco started making them. Sometimes you have to wait awhile for the cool stuff. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

The really nice thing about the Mag is that it can fairly easaly be color any color.Thay said the proto was not coated in anything and discolors to a greyish finish after handleing for a while.Not a problem for me I kind of liked that color but if you don't all you have to do is give it a good cleaning to bring back the light finish.

I'm all for the ball-lock. The D-2 is ok,no probs w/the current steel. But I'd rather they keep the G-10 and color it. OD green and desert brown would rock.
BTW-does anyone know if there's a collective name for the ball-lock style locks? Benchmade has the Axis,SOG has the Arclock,and Cold Steel has the Ultra lock,but they all share the same basic principle. A spring pushes a pin/bar/ball/whatever into the base of the blade. The only real dif is what actually gets set into the blade and the type of spring used.
