Great to see people adding the TrussTi prybar to their EDC. So lightweight you will barely notice you are carrying it too.

TrussTi prybar Misfit 0003.

The Misfit prybars are the first four serial numbered prybars made during the beginning of the production process. After making the initial pocket clips I redesigned the clips to better suit the prybars. However this meant the first four off the production run wouldn’t be able to accept the pocket clips. I have been using them to trial different finishes and was super happy with this flame anodised result.

Initially conceived as a test bed for some feature

Initially conceived as a test bed for some features in Titanium the TrussTi quickly became a production run as I shared the initial concept and progress on the CNC. Features such as the serial number engraving will continue to be used in my future products.

The initial run will be limited to around 50 piece

The initial run will be limited to around 50 pieces. All made and finished in my workshop on the CNC.

One of the big tasks for the #TrussTi project was to ensure that it and all future projects done on the CNC could feature serial numbers.

@hirudins_luna_cnc has a great video on the subject on their YouTube channel. I used that as a basis for my version running on the Siemens controller on my SYIL V5.

The #TrussTi is a platform for me to develop my CNC skills.. a lot of the features are on there specifically for me to learn something I wanted to have in the bag before concentrating on knives. This includes the blind holes threaded for the pocket clip. Lots of lessons came out of the production run from orientation of the parts on my fixtures to design for manufacturing.

Pretty easy to see why this is known as the #TrussTi. I love seeing all the cool Aerospace CNC stuff out there and really wanted to see how far I could go to really create something lightweight.
