Do Not Use Oil In Your Deadlock
We have decided to transition to smaller, more frequent batches of Deadlocks.
Transitioning to smaller batches will allow us a lot more freedom with design options and will make delivery time much quicker. This Drop is nearly finished so make sure to keep an eye out for a Newsletter announcement soon.

Model A, B & C comparison coming soon!
Comparing Model A and Model B
The most noticeable design update for Model B is the size! Here, you can see a Model A full titanium Deadlock prototype next to the marbled carbon fiber Batch 4 prototype.
Design Features:
Design Features:
- New button design
- New clip design (This non-grip clip is designed for the coming production knife. Most likely the grip clip will once again be offered for customs). *BATCH 6 & 7 ARE MODEL B, GEN 3- WHICH FEATURES A GRIP CLIP DESIGN
- Marbled carbon fiber handles
- Bead blasted tumbled titanium frame, inlays, clip & button
- New screws: the screws are now all T8, oval head 420 hardened stainless screws. This means you can take your knife apart without using multiple drivers, and because they are hard, you won't have to worry about ever stripping out the screws! And like always, a T8 Wera driver is included.
Mechanical Updates
Every batch of Deadlocks has started with a goal. The first prototypes had a singular goal of locking up solid. The goal of Batch 1 and Batch 2 was ease of manufacture, which came in the form of simplification. Batch 3 was again ease of manufacture, with an added focus on the ability for the user to take the knife apart for cleaning. Batch 2 is fairly easy to take apart, while Batch 1 and the prototypes are best sent back to me when the time comes.
In Batch 4 and 5, we focused on number of overall cycles, smoothness, ease of user disassembly, and of course- ease of manufacturing.
This version of the Deadlock is so smooth. The older versions were smoother and easier to operate than all other OTFs on the market, but Model B is by far the smoothest out-the-front available to date.
By making the internal mechanism with even less parts, and with screws with all the same size torx, taking the knife apart is easier than ever.
The really big news is the cycle tests! By changing a few parts around, and applying various coatings, we have achieved cycles of 100,000 on all parts! Spring breakage is the number one failure of other OTFs on the market. The springs in the Deadlock have gone over 200,000 cycles!
