SANDSTORM-A PROTOTYPES

**Mike Stewart** · 04-05-2006, 12:14 AM

Hey Gang,

This is the Sandstorm -A.

A stands for Adkins--As in the Adkins Guard.

This is the All Business Version of the Sandstorm.

I have not done the specs on these but I wanted to show them to you.

The Total Lack of Metal contacting the hand makes these Shock Resistant in the event you cut a Hot power wire.

These feel Great and I will be testing them in the next few days but so Far--I can tell you--These are a Go.

Here is the Black Guard with Black Handle.

This is the Black Guard and Green Handle

Green Guard and Black Handle

Green Guard and Green Handle

I will put up a some more variations and the prices.

Let me know what you think.

Mike.....................:-D

Yes--I will be making some of these as Sub-Hilts.

I'm Thinkin' I should overnite one of these to Ron for the Club Meeting on Sunday.

**Kalooch135** · 04-05-2006, 05:03 PM

DAMMIT MIKE!!! I'm still waiting on my Teddy and now you go and make that?!!! Shit...looks like I have to save a few more $$$ for that one as well. Bastard.

**Mike Stewart** · 04-05-2006, 05:13 PM

Ken,

Just heard from Bogdan,--The Teddy sheaths are on the Fed-x Plane from Serbia.

I've got 250 Teddys sittin here and all I'm waitin' for are those sheaths.

As soon as they arrive I will ship to Bob.

I have some other stuff some of the Gang is waiting For too.

Mike..................................

Psssssssssst-----I have the Sandstorm Sheaths in hand so Sandstorms are no problem to ship.

Pssssssssst Again----The Sandstorm Sheath is Ampidextrous.

**Parker** · 04-10-2006, 09:54 PM

Now yer just teasin, Mike, that's not knice.....

You know I'm a sucker for steel and black G10 like that.

**Drivetech** · 04-10-2006, 09:59 PM

Those looke great Mike!
Nice sheath, too, looks like they will ride just the way I like them to.
And the guard couldn't be named after a nicer guy!

**J. Neilson** · 04-10-2006, 10:07 PM

I like 'em Mike. Great overall profile...a classic user design and the complete non-metallic handle is a smart concept. Very cool.

**MadDaddy** · 04-11-2006, 07:43 AM

Got to fondle one at the last NJKCA meeting, great knife. Adding another BRKT to the "need" list.

**Mike Stewart** · 04-11-2006, 09:19 AM

I have 70 of these on the line today.

I'll get pictures up of any different variations as they are finished out.

Jimmy is back from PWYP so we are back up to full Crew in Blade Grinding.

Skittles and I had a hard time keepin' up last week.

Today we have to Re-profile all the Axes for the Gladstone Fire Comapny. Man--Some of them are in very rough shape.

We did a little Demo for them 2 weeks ago on what you can do with a properly ground Axe. They brought all of them over this morning.

Mike.

I gotta say Mike , after handling the Sandstorm-A, it is a well balanced knife that feels really nice in the hand and the guard is very cool. You may have to pencil me in for one of those sub-hilts
