85mm handle, that’s me out

I got the email announcement.

I get it now. Not for me. Totally new design and geometry they're saying. Very interesting. Weight is less than I expected but still hefty.

I'm very happy with my scalloped head in steel. No need to mess with her ugly cousin.

Man I'm tempted, but have far too many to realistically even start the patina process. I would love to know how it shaves though.

I was all geared up for raising the funds for the Ti version and now Timeless offer us this on top... God sometimes I wish I was rich lol

Yes, those hollows are wire cut. They say this is CNC machined with no wire cutting. One less operation so reduced cost. Looks too chunky to me and a bit agricultural. Cheap though...I like the engraving...

EDM process does not produce burrs. Whether it be by Ram, Sinker or Wire Cutting. Those burrs at the bottom of the base plate where the chamfer and bevel is set or "hollows" as you refer to it, are produced by one thing, and one thing only, traditional CNC machining as the mill tool plunges and resets, it's a static state as the mill speed slows down and starts to realign on either of the pre-programmed axis settings and begins it's next set of programmed cutting.

@Str8Mug I war referring to the "hollows" of the steel and titanium versions, which are wire cut. The bronze one is not wire cut.

My apologies....

 

[carbold]

No prob sir, we are saying the same thing
The misunderstanding starts with my unfortunate choice of the word "hollows" in the Ti and SS versions, as they are not really "pockets" as such but couldn't describe them in a better way....

I love this bit in the FAQs for the bronze:

• WE DO NOT KNOW IF OR WHEN WE WILL USE OTHER MATERIALS I.E. STAINLESS, TITANIUM, ALUMINUM, GOLD, SILVER, BRASS, WOOD, CONCRETE, PARTICLE BOARD, CARDBOARD, CLAY, COPPER OR PLASTIC FOR THIS SAME DESIGN

A clay Timeless now I'm intrigued

A user has said its on par with the .68 SS version, too mild..

This helps my bank balance.

That's until they come up with a range of different gaps [emoji51]
