TwoSun Tuesday: TS346 NightMorning Design in Titanium with 3.91" D2 Blade
Published: 2 years ago
Gewd Lawd, this thing is large. The blade stock on this is over 5mm, but it still comes down very thin behind the edge. It clocks in at just under half a pound. It'll drop your pants if you're not confident in their suspension.
I appreciate that it doesn't have a compound grind to the blade. A lot of overbuilt designs will have a thick grind behind the tip which makes them suitable for thrusting, but they're terrible at cutting.
It sports a large enough finger choil for me which is rare. I'm guessing it's due to NightMorning accommodating gloves in the design that allows it to work, but I'm glad it does nonetheless. And it comes with a secondary lock pin in case the frame lock isn't enough.
As pointed out in the video, I have a little bit of blade wrap right before the tip. It's possible mine was underground at the factory, a bit like my Barracuda was. One or two sharpenings will clear that up if it's the case with yours.
Specs:
3.91" (99.3 mm) D2 blade with 5.1 mm stock thickness
7.55 oz / 214 gram weight
0.51" (13.1 mm) handle thickness (Ti)
Frame Lock
Phosphor Bronze washers
