HaveBlue,
Thanks for posting the pics here.

The correct name for this knife is an "H-Class" Tactical Folder.

The "H-Class" refers to an all out high strength design by me. This knife will stay unique to this shop for quite some time.

Here are some specs:
5 inch long by 3/16ths inch thick CPM S-30V blade.
Convave grind with top swedge.
Very large internal surface joint area and bushings.
Heat treated large diameter 416 Stainless Steel master pivot bolt set.
.100 thousandths thick 6AL4V Titanium frames.
7075 T-6 Aluminum bolsters and back spacer.
Black and Green G-10 handle scales.
Large diameter rear attachment screws.
All other screws stainless steel.

When Sal Glesser (founder and owner of Spyderco) was shown the knife by it's owner, Sal said it was the strongest liner lock folder he's ever seen.

I'll take that as a compliment.
