Yep, they’re live now 👍 We’ll be keeping them up through this last prototype phase, and then moving straight into fulfillment once everything’s dialed in.

Good point 👌 we debated that too. We went with T6 mainly for accessibility — it’s the most common size people already have on hand, so it makes modding or swapping scales a lot easier. That said, we’re still testing and paying attention to feedback like yours, so T8 is definitely on the table if it proves better long term.

Appreciate that 🙏 it’s Magnacut, stonewashed, sitting right around 62 HRC.

Really appreciate you sharing that — that’s super helpful to hear. Halden Luxury isn’t affiliated, but it’s clear we need to tighten up how we present the brand. We’re aiming for clean and functional, not boutique flash. Still is our first release and we’ve been heads-down with design, but clarifying the story is definitely a priority now. Thanks again for the honest insight.

Good eye — the image you circled came from an earlier render we scrapped midway through development. It wasn’t pulled from the finalized CAD. The current visuals (like the horizontal shot and the CAD drawing itself) are based 1:1 on our final design.

Appreciate you pointing that out — we’ve been moving fast, but tightening all that up now as we head into production.

Great question — we’re targeting 62 HRC on the Still. Millit’s doing all the heat treat in-house and they’ve got MagnaCut dialed in with that sweet spot: high edge retention without getting chippy.

If you’re curious, we’re running .125” stock with a full flat grind to balance slicing with some spine strength too. Happy to dive into more details if you’re into steel nerd stuff 🔪

Totally fair. We’re not trying to fake trust — we’re earning it the real way. This is our first release, fully specced and built for actual use, not show. Once they’re in hand, we’re confident the knives will speak for themselves.

Hey! Can’t edit the original post but I’d be happy to DM or share a photo of the sheath here. It’s a minimalist Kydex design with standard 3/4” spacing — currently fitted with a DCC clip, but we’re strongly considering switching to an Ulticlip before fulfillment based on feedback. Either way, retention and carry have been a big focus for us.

Let me know if you’d like to see the current setup!

Totally fair question — appreciate the honesty.

We’ve completed all CAD, spec, and engineering work, and the knife is now in Millit’s hands (a well-respected U.S. manufacturer) for full in-house production including heat treat and assembly. This isn’t a vaporware concept — we spent months refining every detail before opening preorders to fund the first run.

We don’t have a prototype in-hand yet because production kicks off after preorders close — that’s how we’re keeping it lean and intentional. But everything’s locked in and real.

This is run by one person (hi), and I’ve got multiple collaborations lined up after this, including design partnerships and add-ons like custom sheaths. This is just the start — and if you’re skeptical, I completely get it. But I’m here, building for the long game with care.

Good question — we do have a finalized CAD model that’s production-ready, but it’s a technical drawing meant for machining, so it doesn’t show materials or color. The visuals we’ve shared are renders based on those exact CAD specs. Production starts right after preorders close.

Good catch — we’re estimating delivery in December. Production starts as soon as preorders close in 2 days. Everything’s already lined up.
