Our team immensely loves the design and we discussed the feasibility of some design choices with the client. We went over various options for the material and construction of the knife.<\/p>\n<p>With that, we created a 3D draft to demonstrate what we can do with the design. After some discussion and adjustments, we moved on to the next stage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2) 3D Diagram<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A02.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A02-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A02-150x69.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 3D diagram allowed us to work on a few details and get a feel for how the knife will look in real life. Our team was keen on conceptualizing the grip, blade, and opener of the knife.<\/p>\n<p>During this stage, we also made some decisions on the final material choices. We decided to use high-quality G10 material for the handle and tough stainless steel for the blade.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3) Initial Design<\/h3>\n<p>Together with the designer, we were able to come up with the initial design. Soon, we realized that we have to improve on some of the details to make it perfect. Our team considered the inner designs and structures and how these details can help innovate the knife.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A03.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A03-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A03-150x69.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4) Creating The Prototype<\/h3>\n<p>Our team decided to use a titanium pocket clip because it matched the overall sleek look of the knife. For the screws, we chose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/tl\/pagpapasadya\/talim-materyal\/\"><u>154CM steel<\/u><\/a>\u00a0for its durability and resistance to rust. The interior design was changed to a nested liner lock as it is simpler to construct.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shieldon-MT01-Colibri-03.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shieldon-MT01-Colibri-03.png 600w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shieldon-MT01-Colibri-03-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Shieldon-MT01-Colibri-03-150x79.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>5) Size<\/h3>\n<p>Then, we went on to finalize the size of the knife. We made sure that it was comfortable to grip and use. The blade had to be short enough to be useful in a variety of situations but not too long that it becomes unwieldy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20624 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A05-1024x552.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A05-1024x552.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A05-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A05-150x81.png 150w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A05-768x414.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A05.png 1348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>6) Purpose<\/h3>\n<p>Our goal is to make the Colibri knife more life-like and fashionable instead of leaning toward a survival type of knife. We also wanted it to be affordable without compromising quality and style.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20623 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08.png 1438w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>7) Rechecking of elements<\/h3>\n<p>Once that&#8217;s done, we went over the components based on the blade, clip, size, backspace, and everything else that needed to be considered in a knife. We also decided on the type of steel and stonewash finish for the blade.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>8) Pivot<\/h3>\n<p>The pivot is one of the EDC folding knives&#8217; most important parts because of clients&#8217; preferences. If the pivot is meticulously-made, \u00a0the flipper tab can snap the blade open with little to no effort. We made sure that our pivot is adjustable so that it can be ideal for different users.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20623 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A08.png 1438w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>9) Branding<\/h3>\n<p>Our team wants to stand out and be different so we decided to go with a unique but classy look. We also customized the name &#8220;Shieldon&#8221; logo in the screw on the pivot to make it our own.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20631 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A09-1024x632.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A09-1024x632.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A09-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A09-150x93.png 150w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A09-768x474.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A09.png 1204w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>10) Testing<\/h3>\n<p>After putting it all together, we gave the knife a test run. We also checked if the color style matched and belonged to the overall finish look of the knife. Pantone was our go-to inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>11) Finalization of Colors<\/h3>\n<p>Our team decided to go with the cornflower blue and lemon G10 on the scale and backspacer. This inspired the Ukrainian flat which is Max&#8217;s nationality. We also used a black stonewash blade to give it a more sophisticated look.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20622 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A10.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"897\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A10.png 897w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A10-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A10-150x94.png 150w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MT01A10-768x484.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>12) Quality Control<\/h2>\n<p>We made sure to check the size and structure of each element to see if it was up to par.
