Thanks guys, glad you like these.
Sorry for the delayed response, just got back from the Vegas show.
sloth357: The finished knives are in the pic in Derek's immediately previous post. Yep, it's as close at humanly possible to being a line for line conversion from the OG Colubris. Had to shrink the blade down from 4" to 3.75" to fit the handles. Other than that, the shape and all of the ergos are exactly the same.
Specs:
CPM S35VN, RC60, tumbled over oxide.
Full 6/4 Ti frame, standoffs, stop pin, and clip (actually, clips on these six are Mokuti, but I didn't have time to refinish and torch). Tumbled finish and bronze ano.
All polished stainless hardware.
V-ground.
Frames are 3/16" thick.
Lockbar is 0.080" thick. VERY strong locks on these. Not for the meek.
Excellent detents. Clean, snappy break. No blade wobble. Sucks closed with a satisfying "clunk."
OAL 8.4".
Blade 3.75".
If you want one of these, the only ones available on the market right now are the harpoon spanto and recurve, which Julie over at Arizona Custom Knives snatched up first thing at the show.
http://www.arizonacustomknives.com/American-Kami.aspx She doesn't have them posted on the site yet, but she's got them. Give her a shout and she'll take good care of you.
I'll post some more detailed pics of one of the finished knives later in the week.
