All my custom knives come with:
- my signature one piece sheath with an integral belt loop (they're also TekLok compatible)
- sheaths with paracord neck loops, but a belt sheath is also an option (neck knives)
- Maxpedition padded pouch or OtterBox case (prototype folders)
- paracord lanyard
- custom machined and anodized titanium lanyard bead
- signed card with all the information about the knife
- a Poltergeist Works velcro morale patch
Blade materials/finishes available:
For my fixed blades I use D2 steel only. It's a great all-round steel and the heat treatment is done in my shop to ensure good results. All fixed blades are coated with KG Coatings GUNKOTE - it provides supreme rust resistance and makes the knife almost completely maintenance free. Colors available are Black, Grey, Titanium, Olive Drab.
I use quality stainless steel for my folder blades - RWL34, S35VN and CTS-XHP. Steel choice depends on availability at the time of manufacturing. Since I'm not a fan of shiny blades my main finish on folder blades is a tumbled finish.
Bead blasted finish is available for both fixed and folder blades however it will decrease corrosion resistance dramatically.
Handle materials/finishes available:
I prefer a handle that is strong and will stand the test of time no matter what the knife goes through. That's why my main choice for handle scales is black G10 and Carbon Fiber (folder scales only). Other G10 colors (such as orange, blue, earth brown, olive drab, coyote) are available but it depends on my supplier and the knife it goes on. Multiple scale surface finishes are available - from plain bead blasted G10 to hand sculpted finishes such as scarification, acid drop and toxic.
Folder technical information:
Like my fixed blades the folders are also hand made with no CNC / WaterJet / Laser involved. They are based on the frame-lock construction. Locking side is 6al-4V titanium. Pocket clips are also hand made of titanium and G10. Thumb studs are matching with the scales and have a TRITIUM vial insert. The backspacer is either a titanium standoff or a full G10 backspacer. I use Nylatron(R) washers and a ceramic detent ball on every knife. Each lock face is coated with carbide to prevent wear and stickiness of the lock. 99% of the hardware (screws, standoffs) is custom made specifically for my folders with very tight tolerances, they are not store-bought parts.
*P.L.M.S. - stands for Phantom Lanyard Mounting System, it's a hidden lanyard mounting hole utilizing a titanium pin as the mount
