Testlab Outbreak May 31st 2011 - V. 73-681 - Anso available!

The latest in my Testlab Outbreak project... V. 73-681


This time I have continued to explorered the mid size folder genre with these 3 1/4" blades. I have really come to like this size and this one is no exception.

As usual 5 have been made of this design in the test phase and 2 of these will be available via lottery. I will be posting a gallery thread with all 5 shortly...

Specs of the folders: 3 1/4" blade in .200" RWL-34, 7 3/4" overall... .125" titanium lock side and .140 handle side. Frame textured, beadblasted, anodized and stonewashed. These all have thumbstuds - shopmade in titanium, with same treatment as the frame.

All blades have various grinds...both symmetrical and assymetrically...I like !



I will as usualbe selling these 2 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....They are each priced at $950 plus shipping. Email me at ansoknives@ansoknives.com and write "Available Outbreaks May 31st 2011" 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, etc. Hope this makes sence....BUT please specify which your interested in or if your interested in them all...!!

When Luc and I made the Tera project we decided to make one for each of us as well.....this one was the one we made for me...

I hate to sell it but bills have to be paid so this one is now available.

This one features like the other Tera´s double titanium bolsters and have contoured brown canvas micarta scales. The blade is stonewashed and acid etched with Luc´s special viral etch. The titanium parts are anodized and heavily stonewashed for a really distressed look. The blade features a assymetrical grind. A truly one of a kind :)

The price for this one is $900 plus shipping. SOLD

Thanks!
