This is the first of the custom prototype that Todd has been working on to showcase what the new Glimpse will look like for the Steelcraft series. Todd will only be making a handful of these to launch the the new model. This will be a rare opportunity to own a preproduction full custom prototype of the all new Glimpse 7.0 of course these are hand shaped and have every surface custom finished by Todd so the SteelCraft version will not have all of Todds crazy finishes or be hand shaped by Todd. When we make a new model for production Todd hand shapes all of the prototypes to be 3D scanned so we pretty much reverse engineer what comes from Todds hands. This is why Todds designs have such an organic feel. More pics to come. iPhone pics tonight then pro pics from the hotel tomorrow.

Here are the last late night pics until tomorrow then there will be another one for you guys tomorrow then the pro pics tomorrow night.
This is a Damasteel blade not sure of the pattern I will ask Todd tomorrow. The frame is black G10 with silver twill inlay. These are
the full custom prototypes hand shaped for the SteelCraft series. We will be coming out with these in November or December.

You can see here that the ti liners are revealed in the back of the frame.

you can see the lock here and how it is inlayed to the frame and you can see the rest of the liner revealed on the bottom side of the knife.

The silver twill and the Damascus looks killer👍
 
Very nice! Looks like inset liner locks. The Steelcraft one will probably have a 3.75" blade of S35VN.

I'd love to see this as a Mini Glimpse with a 3" blade!
