Hey Bill,

Anything new on when/if it might be produced??? If anything has been posted recently I have missed it. Thanks

I finished proto #2 yesterday. It is more production-oriented.
I think production may start next year. The folks in Italy don't even have the sample, yet!

I am truely fascinated.
I hope it will be strong enough to use as a "work-knife"

Bill,

On behalf of all of us who love the style of a stiletto and the utility of a leverlock, a HUGE THANK YOU.

How is #2 difft. from #1? Can you post a pic?

Thanks, all!
It should be a good work knife. I hope they will use 440 for the blade, but that will be up to the manufacturer.
I can't post pics here, but #2 justhasthe finger guards moved about 1/8" forward, and has horn scales.

Thank's

Best Regard's

Mr. Bill,

I will say that is most impressive. I do however have a few questions,
Total length?
Full liners with soldered bolsters?
Liner thickness?

And last, but not least, how does she snap?

Mr Tydy,

Thanks for the link my friend. I forgot to tell you the Frosty 15" arrived safe and sound. Thanks.

Best Regard's

Bonz

Fellow knife nuts...I was just thinking that Bill's design would make a great TalkBlade forum knife, if it makes production. I'm willing to wait...
