Cypop for the cause.

Hey Guys,
The Holiday season is upon us once again, and I thought it might be cool to do a little fundraiser for the Marine Toys For Tots Drive.

So I'm putting up a Mokuti Toothy Cypop with the Brawler stamp and an Slco pouch as an enticement to donate.

Here's how it will work.

To Enter donate $10.00 through the "Donate" button below.
(you can enter as many times as you like each entry is $10.00 be sure to enter each as a new donation)

Entry will be open until Sunday December 15
Monday I'll use random number Generator to pick a winner.
Worldwide shipping is on me.

Please share this post if you feel so inclined the more the merrier!

If we Break $1000.00 I'll also do a giveaway for another Cypop in the Burnley Knives Group on Facebook.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/burnleyknives/

Have fun and good luck!

(Please be sure and give your full name and any contact info request as I will use this to reach the winner)

Vox, Burnley SETI collaboration Lottery,

Hey Guys,
 Jesper and I just finished up our first collaboration, The SETI folder.

We had a blast building these, the goal with this project was to blend our individual style while also working within a theme. 

After talking we decided to work up design a knife with a Sci Fi feel. 
The kind of  gear that a Deep Space Marine or Mining company Tech might use. 

From there we started working on the initial sketches, we wanted something simple and tough that still had a forward design. Color, texture, construction and form all play their part.

This was a tough build and really pushed our skill sets in terms of design and programming. 
Definitely coming away from this one with a few new tricks. 

Collab's are always interesting due to the fact that you are working in someone else's shop on unfamiliar tools and on a tight timeline, this one was definitely not without its fare share of challenges. 

That said its awesome to be able to work with a good friend, challenge each other, share techniques and talk shop over a few beers at the end of the day.

Hope you guys enjoy.

Lucas and Jesper

Status update

Hey Guys,
 This year has been pretty much nonstop, I'm getting ready for my last show of the year and have already started cutting commitments down for 2014.
This year was a bit of a perfect storm with shows, collaborations and outside obligations hitting hard. 

 I figured I would just check in and let everyone know where we're at.

Folder orders-
My books are still closed, and right now its looking like it will be about 3 years till I get to the end of my current list. 
I've been slowly working through it but I'm hoping to be able to put much more time into my orders starting in late November. 

Fixed Blades-
I'm almost done with my fixed blade orders, I have a few Scorpions that I need to finish and a handful of Strikers.
 I know you guys have been waiting a long time, thanks for your patience. 
Shop changes geared towards folder making have effected my set ups and the fix blades have been on hold. I'm going to try and have this sorted out by the end of the year.

Cypops-
Demand for the Cypops is kind of crazy right now, I'm basically trying to fit batches in when I can or running them on weekends to try and keep up.
 The best places to find them right now is still probably here and my forum on the USN, there also seems to be a fair bit of trading going on in the Burnley Knives Group on Facebook.

Tshirts-
I'm getting ready for the second run of KIC shirts as well as a new Cypop shirt, I'll post when they are available.

New custom designs-
I'm working on a few new folder designs now but due to my workload its pretty slow going for the time being. This will be one of the areas that I focus on next year, even though my books are closed I am hoping to be able to do some lotteries for new models and special runs.

Factory Collaborations-
Boker is set to release the Kwaiken flipper with full Titanium scales and the Striker fixed blade this fall, no set dates at this point but I will be sure and post if I hear a set date.


Order Cancellations-
If any one would like to cancel an order just shoot me an email, I know the waits are long and focus, finances etc can change so no harm no foul.  :)

Again, thanks for all your patience. 
I know these long waits can be frustrating, but I'm doing my best to keep it as short as possible.


Cacaww!

1 off Zetta open bid auction

Hey Guys,

 With this Zetta we wanted to up the game a bit increasing the complexity of the build and the difficulty of fit and finish, while still keeping the design subtle and refined. Somewhat ;)

The handle scales have been made of a tight pattern Timascus 

with inlays of blackened Zirconium. 

 We decided to take the concept a little further by adding a peekaboo inlay of niobium into the back of each  scale, these inlays are only visible from the back of the handle. The Niobium is anodized a very vibrant blue to contrast with the Timascus. 

The Zetta features an asymmetrical blade with a duplex grind on the right side and a dagger grind on the left.

We will sell this knife via open bid auction. To place a bid please email Lucas at brnlylotto@gmail.com 

Also if you would like to send your maximum bid, I am happy to auto increase in $100.00 increments until you have won or been out bid. This may be easier for some depending on location.

I will post occasional updates in a few different places.  You can check in the comments section of this post, my forum on the USN as well as the Facebook pages for both Jens and myself.
This should give everyone a way to keep track of the progress.


The auction will run until Wednesday July 31st at 8.00 PM EST. 

To avoid any last minute sniping the auction will run 5 mins after the last bid. 

We will cover the cost of shipping worldwide for the winning bidder.

Basic Specs:

Oal- 9.9

Blade- 3.9

Thickness- 5/32

Steel- Takefu, Super gold 2

Scales- Timascus

Inlays front- Zirconium

Inlays back – Niobium

This auction will start with no minimum bid.

Whether you are bidding or not, thank you for following the progress of this most recent build.
Your support is greatly appreciated.

 Have fun and good luck!

 Lucas and Jens

Anso/Brnly Zetta collaboration Lottery.

Alright guys,
For those of you that haven't seen it Jens and I have just finished our most recent collaboration, The "Zetta"
 For this one I flew back to Denmark to work in the Anso shop for the duration of the build.
We got pretty ambitious with this and it tested us thoroughly,  after some long nights we finished in time and I was on a plane the next morning. 
 Finally back home and Jens has sent me the finished photography so I'm ready to get this thing started.

For this project we each had a few concepts that we wanted to try, one that we shared was the desire to do a high end all metal folder. We also decided that we wanted to work in some color with out it being overpowering, and to try a new blade steel.
The construction method we chose gave us a number of surfaces and materials to work with while also pushing us to work through problems that we hadn't come across before. 

This is what collaborations are really about for me, pushing yourself, sharing techniques and problem solving.

The result this time, is the Zetta.

Thanks for your support, we hope you enjoy the knives :)
