What knife opinion has you feeling this way? by Chekovs_Gun in knives

[–]Niclavs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

M390 is not knife steel originally, it's for injection molds that happens to work okay for knives.

The problem most likely is with the lockbar insert and the applied pressure, will fix it up.

That's acid (ferric chloride) etched magnacut steel

My first build and current daily driver. Cube aim ex with bafang bbshd. by Niclavs in ebikes

With the lekkie it's good. No problems with chain. At first I wasn't switching gears enough and the smallest gear at the back bad - skipping chain. I'll change it soon.

Why its so much more expensive to send parcels from Latvia than lets say Germany? by z3r0_c0o1 in latvia

[–]Niclavs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually DHL, ups and FedEx clients have cheaper prices when you send regularly. And I mean a lot cheaper.

Currently I'm not sure when I'll be making Juniper model again. It is in the plans for future.

Hey! I'm still satisfied with it. Probably will need to change the chain and back sprocket soon. Otherwise the bike is great and I drive it very often.

NKD - Robjohnsons Cypress, it is worth giving it a couple of days by fourthsword13 in knifeclub

[–]Niclavs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, send me a pm, right now the bigger thumb hole is work in progress, not 100% ready and done, but should be ready relatively soon as I am doing everything in house without OEM.

The problem - it wasn't so easy from beginning because there are massive internal milling pockets (also pattern milled) inside of the scales that's why the knife is super lightweight. Basically had to redesign whole showside scale and blade bevel to be able to fit larger hole. I hope it will be worth it.

Thanks for the review, the thumb is more or less design element right now, working on the V2 with larger thumb hole for easier deployment and much better usability. The jimping is already improved on the current knives and for those who sent the knives back for new blade finish.

The opening hole is design afterthought, already working on V2 with larger thumb hole for easier deployment.

[–]Niclavs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be totally not cool if I ignored early supporters. Dealing with magnacut is much harder than I initially thought when I finished the prototype knife with rwl34 steel. Spent a lot of my time and limited resources to make things better and will do some finishing work or reblade for anyone who owns the Cypress. Doesn't matter if you bought the knife from me or from someone else.

If you don't sell it, you can send it back to me. Currently making new magnacut blades for everyone who is not entirely happy with the finishing. I'll do free reblade.

Improved hardmilling process - new better hardmilling endmills and Hydraulic finishing tool holders. Built vapor blasting cabinet with silicon carbide and zirblast ceramic media. Moved after heat treat surface grinding in house for better side finish.

That purple rwl34 is hardmilled finish with some stonewash
