Et tu paie quand, pour la petite histoire ?
Un pourcentage à la commande ou tout a la commande ?

c'est fait comment le timascus ?

Composition
Timascus consists of two or more titanium alloys laminated and patterned resembling steel damascus. Currently the alloys are CP and 6AL4V. More combinations will be available in the future. The various alloys color differently through the use of heat or anodizing. Each type of titanium alloy has the potential for a new color combination. The boundaries seem limitless.

Coloring
The pattern in Timascus can be obtained through various techniques, two of which are heat and anodizing. The current mix of CP and 6AL4V seems to show more contrast through the use of heat than anodizing. Although anodizing does show contrast in the higher voltage ranges. A highly polished finish will produce the brightest colors where as a satin finish can produce the most visually contrasting appearance. All of the current titanium coloring techniques can be applied to Timascus. We appreciate input and success stories.

Working Characteristics
Timascus works virtually the same as other titanium alloys and we recommend you follow those guidelines. The one operation that is slightly different is in the milling of Timascus. Multiple types of titanium in Timascus result in different hardness throughout the barstock. The hard and soft areas cause wear on cutting edges of tools. We recommend using a round cornered cutter whenever possible. We found these tools held up better during machining.

Review
Timascus is a cutting edge material and only the future will reveal its full potential. Timascus adds to the value and performance of a knives. Its current use is that of knife furniture such as guards, bolsters and scales. We are in the process of developing blade material based on Timascus as well as other variations in the types of alloys used in Timascus. We offer Timascus as an alternative material for making knives. We feel Timascus is the next generation of high-tech, high-end materials that enhance a makers work.

Timascus is trademarked. The material and processes are patent pending.

Oui, sans timascus, j'aime bien.
Bon, un poil récurve, ok, mais j'aime bien quand même !

J'aime beaucoup le ratio lame/manche en fait !

[Wabigon]

J'aime vraiment bien ces coutals, sauf celui avec le manche Orange/Bleu

Le dernier full titane semble sympa... si seulement la lame n'était pas recurve.

Pareil, même manche mais autre lame.
