We are sick of the same design we've seen on the internet! Thus we created this POKER CARD with the spectacular design in CARBON FIBER. What do you think? We've also created a poll here.

They've been brought up in a few threads here and there, and at the prompting of @Maugust09 I picked up a couple off "the Bay" Word of advice, be patient and play the bidding game and if you don't mind waiting for China post you'll get them for like half the asking price. Anyway, my first one just arrived today, so thought I'd start a discussion and share my impressions. The TS35 FireAnt. 1.65" of (supposedly, i can't confirm, but *shrugs*) M390 in a titanium handle with a carbon fiber accent Bought and shipped for $46.55 Flipped it about half a dozen times before tearing into it.... I gotta say, between the machining of the titanium, the finish on the blade, the design choices, the shape of the backspacer, and the tight tolerances....this seriously feels like Bestech all over. I know someone here was saying they believe Bestech makes them, and i pointed out that the US distributor for these knives claims they only make their own knives now....but damn if I wouldn't be...

Wherein I have a surprisingly easy time rebuilding an axis locker with copper scales. Most people know the Benchmade 940 as the 'Osborne'. Widely regarded as one of the best production pocket knives in the world, the Osborne probably isn't new to most of you. [image] Warren Osborne has actually designed several knives for Benchmade, but this is the one that people call the 'Osborne'. It's a hell of a knife - light, but long, with exquisite balance and a beautifully smooth flip. As you can see by looking at the variations in texture of the G-10 scales, 940s are subject to a whole lot of finishing work before they leave the factory. The handle gives excellent grip. [image] I knew I wanted to make a Copper Osborne when I saw the aftermarket scales were available for them... but I'm sort of partial to my 940-1 as is, so I ordered this one, a 940-2 from KnifeWorks. KnifeWorks offers engraving services. I like customizing stuff so I often make use of these sorts of things when a...

You can't buy it in stores but you can make your own. 1) Get 1 Skyline with G-10 and 1 set of copper scales for it. These are from Flytanium. The Skyline's the one I bought from Drop. [image] 2) Break it down. The pivot is T8 and the fasteners on the clip and spine are T6. Don't miss the fact that two fastener bolts are embedded in the thin G10 scale that you need to pop out and then set into the thin copper scale, so the long T6 fasteners running through the spine and backspacer have some steel threads to bite into on the other side. Be aware that these can be tricky to pop out. They're easier to 'rip' out by taking a pair of needlenose pliers and ripping away nearby G10 which of course ruins the old scale, but it won't be usable without the bolts anyway. Aside from that it's a simple breakdown that I believe I've documented elsewhere on this site already: you're just disconnecting Torx fasteners and the pivot and it all pops apart after that. Here it is all broken...
