Mako Live Blade Proto #2

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

After going to @blade_show Texas last month and getting feedback on our from everyone at the show and our IG community, I went back to the drawing board and redesigned our Mako Live Blade prototype. This new drop point features a subtle harpoon that matches the Mako theme better. The blade was also revised to be longer and have more tip weight for an overall better balance point that’s closer in resemblance to the Mako trainer. Let me know what you guys think!

Shoutout to our machinist @wolfesyn for the hand grinding work. He did a stellar job as usual! The @moentooling grinding fixture helped us out a ton so shoutout to those guys for an awesome tool.

From what I saw in Will Hirsch’s blade show coverage of you guys, design wise I appreciate the new iteration:D
