Orbit talks are happening and we hope to do another run with Serge Panchenko within the next couple of years.Due to demand, we've decided to keep our focus on Deadlock production.

Demand for Deadlocks is crazy high, and we do our best to ensure that the ordering process is as fair as possible, so we sell everything on a first come, first serve basis. 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.* Q: How can I place an order for a Deadlock? A: We take all of our Deadlocks orders via our OTF newsletter, which you can subscribe to by clicking on the 'Deadlock' tab in the navigation bar. The older versions were smoother and easier to operate than all other OTFs on the market, but this new version is by far the smoothest out-the-front available to date.īy 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. This version of the Deadlock is so smooth.

In Batch 4 and 5, we focused on number of overall cycles, smoothness, ease of user disassembly, and of course- ease of manufacturing. Batch 2 is fairly easy to take apart, while Batch 1 and the prototypes are best sent back to me when the time comes.

Batch 3 was again ease of manufacture, with an added focus on the ability for the user to take the knife apart for cleaning. The goal of Batch 1 and Batch 2 was ease of manufacture, which came in the form of simplification. The first prototypes had a singular goal of locking up solid. Every batch of Deadlocks has started with a goal.
