YC02 standard point blade nested liner lock milled clip EDC kutsilyo

Embarking on a new venture in the world of everyday carry knives, Shieldon presents the YC02 – a folding knife draft that blends classic design with modern utility. The YC02 is conceptualized to be a versatile, reliable companion for those who demand excellence in their EDC gear. With its standard point blade and nested liner lock, this knife draft is the foundation upon which a fully tailored cutting instrument will be crafted, following the final requirements of our clients.

Item NO.: YC02

The YC02 draft is the latest addition to Shieldon’s illustrious collection, promising to deliver a folding knife that resonates with precision, durability, and elegance. It represents a canvas waiting to be painted with the unique desires and specifications of our partners.

Item Segment: Folding Knife Draft

As a draft offering in the folding knife segment, the YC02 is designed with adaptability in mind. This knife awaits the customization that will elevate it to a specialized tool, honed for the discerning user who values both form and function in their everyday carry.

Blade Material: Pending

The heart of the YC02 lies in its blade, and the choice of material is critical to defining its character. Whether the final product will utilize the classic resilience of carbon steel or the advanced performance of modern super steels will depend on the intended use-case scenarios and customer preferences.

Handle Material: Pending

The handle, serving as the interface between hand and blade, is yet to be defined in terms of material. Choices will range from luxurious natural materials like wood and bone, to innovative synthetics and metals, each offering a different look, feel, and level of durability.

Blade HRC: Pending

Hardness, as measured by the Rockwell scale (HRC), is a bespoke feature that will be determined based on the balance between the need for edge retention and ease of maintenance—a softer blade for durability and ease of sharpening, or a harder blade for peak performance in edge retention.

Size and Weight: Pending

The dimensions and heft of the YC02 will be finely tuned to the user’s requirements, ensuring a knife that feels right at home in the pocket and hand. Whether the aim is for a lightweight, unnoticeable carry or a more substantial tool, these specifications will be adjusted accordingly.

Blade Style: Standard Point

With a standard point blade, the YC02 is set to be a quintessential multi-purpose knife. This style is revered for its ability to perform a wide range of cutting tasks, offering an excellent balance between piercing and slicing capabilities.

Handle Color: Pending

The color of the handle remains an open choice, ready to be tailored to the brand’s aesthetic or the functional needs of the knife’s environment. The palette can range from understated tones for tactical use to vibrant colors for personal expression or high visibility.

Pocket Clip: Tip-up

The YC02 will feature a tip-up pocket clip, designed for a convenient and secure carry. This detail ensures that the knife is poised for quick access, enabling swift deployment in any situation.

Lock Mechanism: Pending

A nested liner lock is proposed for its reliable performance and streamlined profile, but the final selection of the lock mechanism will take into account the desired balance of security, ease of use, and manufacturing considerations.

Bukas na Daan: Flipper

The flipper mechanism is chosen for the YC02 to allow for an effortless and ambidextrous one-handed opening. This feature is not only practical but also adds a level of safety, keeping fingers clear of the blade’s path as it snaps into place.

Blade Finish: Pending

The blade finish will be a defining feature of the YC02’s aesthetic and functional attributes. Options could include a satin finish for a classic look, a stonewashed finish for hiding wear, or a DLC coating for ultimate durability and corrosion resistance.

Blade Grind: Pending

The grind of the blade – the factor that greatly influences cutting performance – remains to be specified. From the versatility of a full flat grind to the strength of a saber grind, the end use will dictate the optimal choice.

Konklusyon

The YC02’s potential is as broad as the horizons of our clients’ imaginations. It stands as a testament to Shieldon’s dedication to creating folding knives that not only meet but exceed the expectations of a diverse clientele. This draft is an invitation to embark on a journey of creation, where each pending choice is an opportunity to customize and perfect a knife that aligns with the specific demands and desires of its final wielder.

Shieldon’s commitment to quality and partnership ensures that every step of the YC02’s evolution – from a detailed draft to a high-performance EDC knife – is marked by collaboration, precision, and respect for the client’s vision. As we finalize each specification of the YC02, our clients can trust that the resulting product will be a folding knife of unmatched quality, ready to claim its place in pockets and collections the world over.
