A Hoback / Alphahunter Collaboration Knife

The DLC Black Stallion WarHorse

A Few Years Ago:

I had been making folders for about 2 years when, in 2011, Chad of Alphahunter Tactical Design approached me about a project. That project was the WarHorse — a honkin’ huge knife with a full 4” blade and massive slabs of .200 thick titanium!  Chad and I went back and forth on design parameters for a few days, and the original WarHorse was born.  We did several different variations on the design and even did a mini-flipper version.  The design was amazingly popular, and we sold out of each run we made within days.

A few years went by and Chad and I kept busy growing our respective businesses and doing other things on our own.  All along, though, I’ve wanted to get back with him and make another run!

Today:

I’m proud to announce that Chad and I arranged our schedules to collaborate once again on another run. Plus, I pulled out all the stops in a redesign of the knife! I ran a full FEA (Finite element analysis) on it to check for any weak spots. Pocketed all non-structural components to get the weight down. Did a ground-up design of a perfect hardened lock insert.  Even did a full Bio/Organic 3D machined semi-floating backspacer. Added my HRD (Hoback Roller Detent), HCP (Hoback Cammed Pivot), and hardened stainless bearing races.

The result? A brand new WarHorse Chad has dubbed the “Black Stallion!”

The WarHorse is Available in either a DLC Black Finish or a DLC Black Fallout Finish!
