The Ion is my newest titanium chanwich design, built off the Voltaic and part of the Volt platform. It comes in at 3.75 oz without weights and features a pin weight system that lets you customize balance by adding brass pins to the back of the handles.
Made from 6AL-4V (Grade 5) titanium with an S35VN blade, the Ion runs on a bushing system for tight tolerances and smooth flipping. It ships without weights installed, so you can tune it to your preference right out of the box.
Specs:
Handles: 6AL-4V (Grade 5) Titanium, Chanwich Construction
Blade: S35VN
Weight: ~3.75 oz (without weights)
Balance System: Brass pin weights (user-installed)
Pivot System: Bushings
Platform: Volt-compatible
