Aloha ALL,
FINALLY! I think I am one of the first to receive two of my latest designs, the M-TYPE and HYPER! Overall initial impressions are excellent, as these knives are built solid, have deep pocket carry clips, a REAL G10 scale, full "ala Mr. Reeves" framelock strength, AND are serial numbered! Only thing is, they all came tip down...a "sin" in my book! LOL!!!
The Ti finish on the "bead blasted" PE M-TYPE is awesome. Kind of hard to describe, but it appears to have a "gun metal gray, smokey chrome" color to it. Notice how nice and W-I-D-E the blade of the M-TYPE is! This has a great, full in hand feeling, yet not bulky. Here are some pics of both versions:
The HYPER turned out a bit smaller than the initial prototype that I had built, but it has a good in hand feel like the M-TYPE, and has the Subcom Folder's, "Open and Turn" ability in which upon fast opening, a quick turn in hand, and it's locked in! I have no pics of the PE version, as someone made a "boo-boo" at the warehouse in Germany and sent me a Magnum knife by accident. Here is the HYPER CE Black:
Size comparison of the HYPER and M-TYPE's along with the SubClaw, DP Trance, ZDP Caly' Jr. and a Waved Endura.
So...will I be carrying any of these new buggers? You betcha! I will be carrying the HYPER CE Black, and the M-TYPE CE Black in rotation with one of my Trances, Subcoms, and Spyderco Forum Lava. Now...where's my Torx wrench so I can "correct" the clip positions of my HYPER and M-TYPE users...LOL!!!
God bless and mahalo much ALL!
PS: Thanks Boker Germany...I actually beat Mat888 this time in getting one of my knives!
