The video is about machining the spear called the Assegai use by Zulus. This will be the name of the pen. This spear will be on each pocket clip on the bottom side and hidden. It can only be seem when the pen is twisted. The first part is the program we use to communicate with the cnc and the second part is where we actually made 2 samples.

It performs really well and easy to resharpen. All the customers that bought one of our knives are more than happy with the performance of the knives. We do consider making a new fixed blade in the future with a super steel so we can have a line for customers looking for a super steel version.

On the new iMamba you can swap them out. The blade might be 100% centred for the one and 99% for the other. That is the only difference.
