I want a Ti Lite conversion. Very cool.

Thanks eddy.
I don't currently have any available, and I don't make them often. It's been over a year since I made one.

Those are sweet lookin. I especially like the drilled out version.
When you did make them were they available here or on another site?
I started making them about 2 years ago. The bottom three in that pic are the first generation, the top three are the second (I call that model "Auto-Lite"). The 1st generation have handles I made from coarse g10, the 2nd generation have their original handles (and a safety I designed and fabricated).
Although I've sold several, I've never actually had the chance to post them for sale anywhere. As soon as I mention that I've finished any I get people contacting me asking to buy them (I never do pre-orders). I posted the first batch of Auto-Lites on Bladeforums just to show what I had made, I hadn't even thought of a price yet, and I was sold out within an hour.
Here are a few Talkblade threads where I discussed my Ti-Lite conversions in the past-

I linked my youtube channel in my sig line below. You can see more of these conversions there, including a few disassembly videos showing the internal workings.

Those are very cool. If I had one I would snap it every now and then.

It IS very cool . . .I'm surprised I have not yet seen a clone on DH-Gate . . . .

Dang. . . when I go to Hell, there will only be Rizzy's with busted sear arms, poppers, and grindstone sharpened buck knife clones.
and not a single K12-AL to be seen.

Love to read everyone's comments
Re: How many times a week you give your collection a look?
Thanks guys.
As far as my design being cloned, I certainly can't satisfy the demand for Ti-Lite autos by myself. And although my conversions are expensive, I don't do it for the money, so being cloned wouldn't hurt me financially. I might even take some pride in knowing that I inspired Ti-Lite autos to finally be mass-produced.
Heck, if they did a good job of it, and produced a quality knife, I might even buy a few .

Regarding getting knives out and looking at them.....I get them out about once a month. I have no one else to show them to. Only two people have ever seen my collection.

I never tire of looking at your pics!
Re: How many times a week you give your collection a look?
