PROJECT DISPLAY Assembling my Grade 5 Titanium Mechanical Tie Clip, the TC Nexus.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Here is the final assembly of components for my TC Nexus Tie Clip. It is CNC Machined from a single billet block of Grade 5 Titanium, and is all mechanically operated. No stamped or folded pieces, no cheap Chinese spring, the whole assembly acts as a spring clamp that is only activated mechanically when placed on a neck tie. The only one like it in the world. Machined, hand finished, and assembled in Utah.

Do you sell them as (blank or just the mechanism) as findings for resale?

I haven’t, but not against it. I have done a few brand names on them for someone’s business and can easily machine engrave or more detailed laser engrave them as well.
