System:
CD1000DP – 1000ws capacitive discharge resistance welder
WH1125A – Opposed air actuated weld head
1/8″ tungsten upper electrode (wedge shaped tip with notch)
1/8″ copper lower electrode (tapered to 0.075″)
1awg weld cables
The WH2125A is configured with a tungsten 1/8″ upper electrode that has a wedge shaped tip (0.07″ width) and a notch cut out to help gather the copper strands; and a 1/8″ copper lower electrode that is tapered to 1/16″. 1awg weld cables are used and the spring force is set to 15lbs for the weld pictured. The stop nut gap is set to 3/8″.
The same welder settings were used for all four samples. The CD1000DP is set with Pulse 1 at 100ws, Pulse 2 at 400ws, and Total Energy at 500ws.
The settings outlined above are a good starting point and provide good pull strength; but further experimentation with weld energy, spring force, and electrode tip shape can lead to even better results.
Summary:
The CD1000DP and WH1125A are an ideal solution for attaching the braided cable to the plated brass components. The notch in the tip can be removed if desired for a flatter weld spot, but the strands may spread out more. Higher energies are available if the pull strength needs to be increased.

This is a quick introduction and overview of the skaha folder! Named after a lake in BC’s interior. It is our latest offering, now available on the website. We will do a better quality, more comprehensive video of it when we have time. This video is just to give you and idea of the size and action of the knife.
The Skaha is a modern “flipper”, folding knife. The blade is CPM S35VN stainless steel. An excellent steel in terms of both sharpenability and edge retention. The handle is made of G10 and the lockbar is spring tempered S35. All the hardware is made of stainless steel. The bearings, stop pin and washers are 440C hardened to 59-60 HRC (Rockwell C) . The pivot pin is hardened 416 stainless. The Knife weighs 3oz in total or 90 grams. It is designed for tip up carry and the pocket clip is not removable or repositionable. This knife is a great size and weight as an EDC. It is hardly noticeable in the pocket, until you need it.
Our knives are CNC milled, heat treated and hand finished. We engrave the knives with our logo, the steel grade, “made in BC” and the date of manufacture.
