New Fradon Exclusive Incoming?

#1

Post by Synov »

This Instagram post from Fradon Lock Co indicates a new exclusive is in the works. I would bet money it's going to be a Military 2 in marbled CF.

I'm surprised they're doing another exclusive, it seems that it took them forever to sell their earlier exclusives and in the end they were discounted. That's a lot of money to have tied up... But either way, glad they're willing to keep doing exclusives.

I think the marbled carbon fiber is a bit more appreciated at this point. Their exclusives sell for high prices on the secondary now.

I’d be thrilled to see something a bit left field like a Chinook 4 (I know there’s virtually zero chance, but it would be really cool).

Was the Delica HAP40 CF their first exclusive? The internet hates the inflated Seki milled CF prices for sure and it took forever to sell.

I'm stoked for anything in marbled CF and tool steel

They were close together but I think the hollow-ground 4V Manix came first. I should have bought one of those.

They are smooth but not slippery at all. More of a soft rubber feel than the typical plastic-like CF weave.
