Testlab Outbreak August 2010 - V. 743-22 - Anso available!














































Very happy to present the latest in my Testlab Outbreak project... V. 623-62Last time I posted an Outbreak design I said the same but I think this design is one of if not the coolest Testlab Outbreak project I have ever done....I feel I have outdone myself in every aspect of the design and making of this! As usual 5 have been made of this design in the test phase and 2 will be available via lottery.Specs of the folders: 3 3/4" blade in .160" RWL-34, 8 3/4" overall... .130" titanium frame. blade and frame beadblasted and stonewashed. First pictures show all the knives together. All blades have various grinds...both symmetrical and assymetrically...I just LOVE grinding all these different kind of grinds...!These all feature brand new textures created on my manual Deckel Mill. I had a ton of fun and also quite a few frustrations creating these 3 textures....but in the end I think they all turned out to be cool and potetially standard textures from me...! The blades are all etched with "Testlab Outbreak" The mark is etched deep, crisp and dark....just the way I like it...I will because of the overwhelming interest be selling two of these via a lottery. To enter the lottery for a chance to buy one of these knives please read carefully:Pictured below is the 2 available knives....the G10 version is priced at $850 and the titanium version is priced at $900Email me at ansoknives@ansoknives.com and write "Available Outbreaks August 2010" in the subject. In the email you will write down which of these 2 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. 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!Contact me at ansoknives@ansoknives.com for further information and to be put on the newsletter list for new Outbreaks.
