TwoSun Tuesday: TS381 Tepe Design Ti Framelock with 3.49" M390 Blade
Published: 2 years ago
TwoSun Tuesday, yet again!
This week, it's a Tepe Design, and a rather new one at that. Not the NEWEST one at the time of this release, but fairly new. It's a very slim design as far as the handle goes. The blade stock is still really thick, but it's ground nice and thin behind the edge.
This one has a fully crowned spine and flipper tab, so it has a touch of Italian flair to it. The handle is also very thin which is a departure from most TwoSun designs.
The issue I have with this one at the moment is that the lockbar can be pushed to 100% lockup if you grip it too hard. Mine isn't alone in this issue either. As I state in the video, I do plan on trying to fix that, but haven't done so thus far.
Specs:
3.49" M390 blade with 4 mm stock thickness
3.5 oz / 99 gram weight
0.44" handle thickness (Ti)
Frame Lock
Ceramic bearings & detent ball
