"The initial price for the first run will be $400.00 each...
Only 100 will be made in this run, 90 will be for sale."
The Foldair™ knife is a new departure from old school. It simply has no metal springs to fail, corrode, break or weaken.
It was conceived, designed, engineered, tested and built in America out of American materials. It abounds with attention to detail befitting any precision instrument. Detail such as the CNC machine serrated bolt and hilt area. To the bronze plain bearing and side thrust washers. So many areas of this beauty are painstakingly done it truly is a work of art. With expertly selected alloys, exquisite machine work and professionally done heat treat it will give exceptional service for decades. The blade, as all other components, are machined entirely on CNC mills and grinders. No laser cutting, water jetting or stamping is allowed. As with all our products "This isn't the cheapest, just the best".

Since the Foldair™ knife has no springs, a patent was applied for and is now pending. The actuator for the bolt is a nitrogen cylinder made by McCann Industries, that has a lifetime warranty. A bronze plain bearing is pressed into the blade that the axle rides in. Both the right and left sides of the blade are supported by Delryn thrust washers which provides for the least friction.
The handles are made from 7075T6511 aluminum plate. Serration's will be added later this year. And if demand is high enough stainless steel.
