"What is on the bench" Monday!

I am still working on the X5 prototypes. The handles are completely finished and I have been working on the blades. There is a lot of machining to be done and I ran into a snag on Friday that was really frustrating so I took the weekend off to be able to get back on it today with a better attitude.

I am hoping that the next time I show these, they are done!

Omega M-5 Limited Edition (2011)

I originally designed and made the Omega Series in the 90's and then discontinued the models. A few years ago I used the line drawings to make limited runs of the M1, M2 and M5 using today's techniques. This is the M5 with titanium bolsters and carbon fiber scales.
