Testlab Outbreak V.887-29

Happy New Year everybody!!

Been working really hard the past week to make this project come to life in time to make this post on the last day of 2008. The Outbreak year has been alittle bit slower in 2008 than expected but turned out to be just as I wanted it numbervise....I made a total of 5 new designs which I think would be just about right...6 would probably be better which is what i aim for in 2009.

ok on to this new Outbreak:

This time I have been working in the approx 3 1/2" range with this new design. Overall lenght is approx 7 1/2". Blades are made from 1/5" thick stock RWL-34 with a nice hollowgrind. Frames are made from .140" titanium

As usual 5 have been made of this model while in the Test phase. The first 3 shown here are available for sale!

knife A: Stonewashed RWL-34 blade - black/blue G10 handle with circular texture. Price $750

Knife B: Stonewashed RWL-34 blade - Olive green semi translucent G10 with "micro" texture. Price $750

Knife C: Stonewashed RWL-34 blade - Orange G10 with single frame and micro Techno texture. Price $750

I will because of the overwhelming interest be selling these via a lottery. To enter the lottery for a chance to buy one of these knives please read carefully:

Email me at outbreak@ansoknives.com and write "December Outbreak Lottery" in the subject. In the email you will write down which of these 3 your interested in. after 24 hours I will assign everyone who has contacted me with a "lucky number" for each of the knives he/she is interested in and let a random number generator pick the "winners". If you are only interested in 1 of these you get one chance...if your interested in two you get two chances..etc. Hope this makes sence....BUT please specify which your interested in or if your interested in them all...!!

Finally a note for the European readers....these prices do not incl VAT TAX...so if you live inside the European Union please let me know when you contact me!

Oubtreak Teaser

working on a new Outbreak model that will be out within a couple days....untill then enjoy a little teaser :)

Finished these two balis over the last couple days....These where made to fill out some way overdue orders....

first is a Daggersong with Devin Thomas Spirograph blade and carbon fiber over titanium frame....

Next is a Mini Amok Bali...actually the first I ever made if I am not mistaken....the client wanted it with a high finish so I handrubbed the blade to 1200 grit and jeweled the inside of the frame and then textured and anodized it a dark bronze color....please excuse the poor pictures of this one....was shot in the shop...not ideal but wanted to show this one off too...

here is a various mix of pics from the last weeks work...

first is a Mini Mofo with a new texture I have been experimenting with...black canvas micarta and titanium bolster...handrubberd RWL-34 blade. This one has titaniúm standoffs....

and Nailnick Rebel with tan G10...

Double bolstered 67 with swedge grinds and handrubbed blade...black G10 handle.

and finally a Zulu in a configuration I particullar like Shadowboxed G10 over stonewashed frame and blade....nice
