TiOX Madness!... in a Soldier Knife kind of way!
on: June 09, 2016, 09:20:31 AM
Hello Mod Squad, I thought I would share some things you might find interesting! TiOX 93mm Scales! I have been prototyping and building scales for the 93mm soldier knives for a few months now. My overall goal is to build my own knives and a big part of that is making blades and hopefully I'll get around to that soon.  Alot of these pictures are up on my Instagram.

Ok here we go!  :D

6-4 Titanium Blanks in from Laser


First Side is pocketed and drilled/reamed. This version has pockets milled for phos. bronze washers


Second Side about to begin


Heres second Op fixture, however this pic is machining the aluminum prototypes on the Haas.


Heres the Dutch Army Pattern completed




Here it is built out to an Electrician Plus






Ok, on to the next one!
Swiss Shield Soldier style!


Gold Anodizing


Green


Blue Pioneer build




Bored yet?


Lets do something a little more interesting...
Heres a picture of the Prototypes


The Fisherman!... I know there has to be someone who likes the scaler!










Heres one for those who are into vintage alox!


Bronzed


Heres a bead blasted bronze anodized basic cross pattern.




Prepare to blast to the moon! :)



Introducing the Astronaut!








So this is the latest creation I just finished today. (6-8-2016)



This is the old Cadet pattern... but on a soldier knife!


I did a Pioneer X on this build.

I..... Uhh..... I...... I.. don't know what to say. Incredibly beautiful work and I absolutely LOVE the fish logo and shuttle logo added as well as the ribber cadet shield and the milling on the inside of the scales. I need to buy some!

Oh and in all the excitement I almost forgot to welcome you to the forum!  :tu:

It's possible just not with anodizing. Zirc or DLC is the only option.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I appreciate it!

I'll look into the Zirc Coatings!

Here is a weight comparison of the stock Alox scales and the Tiox versions.

Wowzers.  Those scales are indescribably wonderful.  I hope you can come to an arrangement with Grant re advertising, because I'm sure you could make a lot of sales here.

The madness continues.. So I wanted to try and shoe horn the toothpick, tweezers and pen into the 93mm titanium soldier knife, so this week is devoted to trying that out.

Heres a few pics of the beginning stages, starting with a blank of Ti and machining side 1 with 3d tapered slots, notches and ball endmill fun.







I decided to machine the 2nd side with the cadet pattern.

I also built a fixture to hold the scales at the various angles to mill the end slots for the pull tabs.





....and heres where I'm at currently, I will be machining some .020 nickel silver liners soon.
