Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

Only cause you asked why.
As a Consumer product the Hybrid knife has failed, thanks mostly to Dick Miltner's actions.
As a sample it is the best device LQMT has to showcase the potential of Injection Molding.
Its either the Hybrid or the LQMT Flags.

The Hybrid is a design platform that demonstrates some of the technologies and properties now available to engineers and designers.

Such as..?

-A 0.0005? fit between the blade and protector – made possible with the ultra-precise Liquidmetal process that can produce parts with features down to eight ten-thousands of an inch

-A barrel hinge implemented utilizing Python programming – resulting in an easy to assemble and disassemble two-piece knife with no weak points throughout the open and close rotation

-Liquidmetal alloy boasts as-molded 563 Vickers hardness (25% greater than 17-4PH stainless steel), 1524 MPa yield strength (twice that of Titanium), and 1.8% elasticity (four times that of hardened 420 stainless steel).
