I don't understand the reason for the G10 underneath. It seems like it would just thin out the metal, making it more flexible or breakable. Another problem would be that if the handle play becomes too much or the screws become too loose, the blade might hit the G10, causing damage it to chip or break

[CalviNNation]

@Bladejunkie92 well really its the same as having the TI underneath, It just gives an all metal look to it, it would be strong enough for sure. As far as handle play, g10 is pretty tough, but its going to be up to the user to make sure it doesnt get too loose.

Nice Idea. I am probably going to get back into flipping constantly when I can get a hold of one of these new Bm 62's.

[CalviNNation]

@KnotsNBalis Yeah man!

[EDCblade]

ok but were is the tang going to land because g-10 although it is very strong it will not support it up to the abuse flipping it will cause

[CalviNNation]

@EDCblade I was thinking Zen pins that go through both the TI and the G10

[knifeknut0414]

I would buy this so fast it would be flipping itself. It is such a great design, and i think it would be very ergenomical (parden 10th grade vermont spelling) in terms of flipping

[iheartgeckos12]

anyone else just find it comforting to listen to the sound of the butterfly knife being flipped?

[Honda1794]

@CalviNNation willing to sell ur 42', 450$?

[AssembledTube]

@CalviNNation ill be buying if they make

[117anarchist]

i would buy this if benchmade made it for sure. it looks awesome and like it'd be a good flipper.

[sk8arobby1232]

That is a great idea. :) And it would be awesome if you got this into production!

[EDCblade]

@CalviNNation cool sounds both functional and beautiful

[npa4863]

idea! that big oval maybe you could make it an option to have your name or initials engraved into the g10 with the color of your choice like you said... personally i like the fully milled idea...

[cja245]

cool idea. I think it would work out better with stainless steel overlays and annodized titanium underlays, just for the added weight. I like the idea of using multiple materials to make a better balanced handle.

[Ravenclawfire]

Definitely an interesting idea, i agree with machining being very hard, i have a feeling it would probably be really expensive to make because of the difficulty too, but overall its interesting. I was hoping u might of come up with a handle drilled out hole pattern that was not so similar to the bm4x but obviously those are your fav so thats what u are going to draw sorta
