Hi all,
Good news, happy to edit the thread !
Now we are more than 25, I am happy to tell you that run will be done !
I needed at least 25 people to cover machining fees on metal parts, tempering, shaping polishing and organic material fees will be covered on my own or made by me.
The sale price is 150€ plus shipping, from about 14(Europe) to 32€ (US)
I think I will hand number the knives, following the list order on this thread, I will probably engrave it inside the knife, on the spring.
Here is how I wish to proceed for that run:
-get te prototype machined on end of august
-finish prototype, and share on the group.
-if any mechanical issue, reword it if needed.
-once all is ok, ask for payment of the knife cost (150€), paypal fees added (EU located, Euro currency), without shipping cost, you will specify you RPF ID as message on paypal, so I can edit status here.
-I get all the metal parts done, also order the stag and other materials.
-I finish all knives
-I ask for balance, meaning shipping cost depending on location, you specify the address and username
-knives are shipped
-once you get it, hoping you will be happy, you can share it on this thread if you want
I plan to get knives finished for end of this year or early 2025, the very best would be to get them made in December so you would have your christmas gift.
If all is ok for you, please let me know, if anything is wrong and you are on the list, please comment, so I remove you from the list.
As long as items are not shipped, the list is open, until it comes up to 100, so feel free to ask if you want to join.

After some searches to enlarge my prop collection I discovered some facts about that raider pocket knife.
-it's not a Linder
-It's not a Hubertus
-it's not sourcable anywhere, new or old.
After searching on the internet and examinating similar knives, I concluded that, first the bolster is stainless and has no grooves, the rivets are steel and the handle is probably fake stag, the blade shape is different especially the base.
You can see the colors on this 4K screenshot, notice the bolster shape and color, rivets, stag handle, blade shape:
The stag is not grinded to match the bolster, linder is, hubertus is not, hubertus probably has fake stag.
Rivets color and position, closer to linder than hubertus, but color doesn't match any of them, both have brass rivets
Bolster is plain like the Linder, and made from stainless, unlike hubertus, which has a german silver bolster
Blade shape especially base doesn't match any of them.

As I am a knifemaker, living in french knifemaking city, I can produce this knife, just have t design it, get it laser cut, tempered, and blade edge made, then make assembly and finish, I already started 3D design.
I want to use genuine stag, but for the best accuracy, I want to choose wsely, to avoid the grinding to match the bolster as much as I can.
I think the price would be about 150€ plus shipping, I have concern regarding shipping to some countries because of legislation, as the handle is 11cm, and blade about 93mm, some countries may have restrictions (Japan, Canada, UK?!)
If anyone is interested, please comment.
