GGHDLMBCF: Custom Deadlock Model B OTF Auto, Carbon Fiber

Grant & Gavin Hawk Design

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 the 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 in when the time comes. 

In Batch 4 and 5, Grant and Gavin 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, Grant and Gavin 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!
