Here I will be posting the build of the new Curtiss/Kowulz Urban Fury II flipper. Rock Kowulz did the complete design of this knife and these are his. I just get to make it for him. The knife will have 1/8" thick titanium frames and a 3/16" CPM-154 blade riding on IKBS. This is a larger knife with an OAL of 9.75". The closed length is nearly 6" with a cutting edge of 4.25". Despite being so big, it will be relatively light weight. Other fun facts are the knife will have a custom lowrider pocket clip and a 2-tone blade finish. Here are the first pics. The shots of the frames are right after I machined the texture pattern into them. Still have to radius the edges and many other steps. Blades are in the oven right now. More to come soon. Thanks.

Thanks, Murph. Glad to see us making progress on these, Dave. Its looking great!

I wanted to combine what I felt were the greatest strengths of a Wharncliffe, Sheepsfoot, and Tanto blade into one EDC utility/fighter. I think this design exceeds my expectations. I'm very happy to have Curtiss Knives and GLWJ producing these prototypes for me. Besides giving Dave fits, I think the pattern I designed for the handle will give it a very unique look as well as providing a very grippy texture that isn't abrasive.

Heres some nearly finished pics of 1 of the 2 knives. This sucker is razor sharp and laser quick. Still have to finish the lowrider pocket clips. I'm kinda liking this one.

Both prototypes for my Urban Fury II arrived today. I am very pleased and recommend the good Mr. Curtiss without hesitation. Excellent work!

I'm still needing a fuel pump. I will offer this through Friday for $550 USD, shipped CONUS. If it is still here after Friday, I will post it on three other knife forums.
Thanks for looking!
