Ti Integral WIP

Hi folks,
I've been planning this for a while now, and finally got a chance to make the chips fly.
These are the prototypes for my first attempt at a folder, or any type of knife for that matter.
The frames are machined from one piece of Ti, and they are 3/8" X 1" X 2 1/2".
S30V is the blade material.
First I surface ground them to within .005 of finish thickness.
Next I wrote a program in MasterCam to do a 3D sweeping contour profile using a .125 diameter carbide ball mill. I manipulated the amount of step over, and across step in the program parameters to achieve the rippled/fluted effect on the blade. I was able to use the same program for the opposite side after turning on the mirror image function on the CNC control.
I don't know about you, but I'm digging them...
Thanks for looking,

"A Few Finifhed Nebulii"

Hello all,
Firstly I know my WIP on these has been lacking here. I have Satellite Internet, and uploading pics eats up my allotted bandwidth rather quickly.
Here are a couple pictures of several now finished "Nebulii" knives.
Just so you know the whole lot of 20 knives have been spoken for.
Thanks for looking,
