Congratulations! It's always great when you obtain that special something!

Thanks for the kind words!!

Great stuff!

Thanks! I really appreciate the kind words!

Here's a short (1 minute) video look at the new EDX. Not much detail in one minute, but it does show how the one-piece clip/lock works. Not much on the new "Lockdown" pivot system, but about 3 second. --two full days to do one minute of video!! It's been a few years since I messed with these...

Laser machined. It's about .012 deep. More expensive to do it this way (compared with a laser 'dark mark'), bit it's there FOREVER! Thanks for the kind words!

This is the CK-2 Hostile Duty Fixed Blade (one of 14 in the prototype batch). It is made from a single piece of CPM154CM. Blade Length: 3.5 inches Blade Thickness: .200 Weight is 5.8 Ounces. If you notice the cut-away/cross section CAD art, it reveals how a piece with this thickness...

Here are pix of the first EDX (one of 15 in the prototype batch). It got plenty of pass-around time at G2! It was also the happy recipient of "Most Unique Design" award. The EDX is a heavy-duty cutting tool with thick Titanium frame (each side is .220 near the pivot and tapers to about...

That's a wonderful blade! Awesome all over!

Good Times!

Blue on pivots. Green on some small steel/steel applications (like 2-56 going into a steel part that may need disassembly down the road). Red on thumbstuds. I usually don't use anything on steel screws going into good tight (roll-tapped) threads in Ti. They seem to stay put just fine thanks...

Great piece!!

Agreed! Some of the older ones can get a little crotchety, though ... :)

I haven't used Admiral's 1084, but have had experience with their other materials (some of which are fine). My advice is that if it's a high-stakes forge project, you should have their material independently tested to verify the carbon content (for one thing) is where you expect it. I've...

Great stuff, Bruce!

Wait a minute! I don't think it's possible to "prove" any piece of elephant ivory was here prior to '89. If they require proof the material was here prior to 1989, the blanket amnesty allowing previous stock to be used for commercial purposes is meaningless and it all becomes illegal since...

Great advice here. One thing to add ... If you can swing it, try to work one of those big louvered vents directly to the outside nearest your primary dust source. I have a 35 inch fan blowing to the outside (right through the wall) right next to my grinder. It's a wind tunnel by the grinder...

Looking good!

Cool stuff!

I handled one at SHOT. The one I handled was almost indistinguishable from a custom.
