Looks amazing! I'm really hoping its a vertical motor or some pen designed machine. Looks like it has a remove able motor system like the halo. Either way I'm excited!

If i were to guess, maybe this is his articulated drive bar machine. Not the vertical motor machine which is already called the Aura. Just my guess though.

Damn man. Fk n some other companies are getting like the apple of rotaries. As soon as we fall in love with one model, they come out with a new one. Hahaha. N then we get teases but no solid release dates or news until we are chomping at the bits. Ha.So cool. The spektra is so amazing. Can't wait to see more about this.

when do you think roughly it might be released?

when do you think roughly it might be released?

It takes us about 6 months from conception to release. There is a lot of back and forth between our machinist, myself and the artists that test our new product.

I don't want to give you any false date but if everything marches as planned, this machine could hit the streets around sometime April 2014 and that is if we are 99% satisfied with the testing stage.

Join us on Instagram @fkirons as we'll be posting the progress gradually.

The edge will have adjustable give without the need of replacing anything to change the give amount.

Cagelavey, It said on the instagram that it has adjustable give which sounds great. I don't know a thing about this though, only what I read on the post from IG.
I know it looks exciting. I don't think this is the direct drive machine he is testing atm because I thought that was called the Direkt. But again, who knows.

the tip jar works great for getting machine money that your family will not know about you spending. ;)

I keep my tattooing money completely separate from the house hold money, unfortunately that's because tattooing is me second job and it only part time two days a week :( . Meaning some of you all make more a week in tips than I make all week. Working on changing that though phasing out the day job slowly got in the 5 year plan.

I have shelves on all four walls of my station, on the shelf sets my tip jar, with a hand drawn label that reads TIPS! in big letters. everyday I go in I put like a 20,10,a couple fives in it and depending where on the body I am working and which way the customer is facing depends on which shelf I set it on, lol. on the mirror there is that Japanese sign that states, "Tipping is not a city in China" so when they are getting tattooed the a have a perfect view of the tip jar the entire tattoo, and at the end when they look at their piece they can see the sign. works like a charm, lmao. some people don't know that it is cool to tip a tattoo artist, and you cant just ask for a tip, so you sometimes have to get creative.:D

I just love that with the spektra line, the motor bolt did everything! The hall, direkt, and quite possibly the edge. It'll be cool to have all those bodies and just need a couple motor bolts for them all.

Yeah idk, I tried to message gaston....A few times, more or less to say what's up and I don't get responses anymore so I kinda haven't been keeping any eye out for anything lately..

Deran is a beast. Met him at a few shows over the past couple years. This machine seems like a Cheyenne and a Direkt had a baby. Probably will be the best of both worlds

The blue one looks like maybe it had some type of give knob and the other looks to be a dd version, that's my best guess, super excited about this one. I agree, looks like a Cheyenne and a direkt has a love child! :p

One thing about this is the rca connection nice short machine but once you connect a normal rca cord to it bang it's just as long a any other machine. When will builders start giving it a 90° or 45° So the rca starts to be out of the way. I've converted all my rca cords to 45° angle but they are hard to get hold off I've only found one company on fleabay that sells real quality 45° rca connectors. Then my flitev2 are so small without this big rca connection hanging out the back.

If you notice no one that is posting any pictures is posting words. Web crawlers can't find it if they aren't saying anything.

Gaston had the halo ripped off before he could release it that way. He is doing what Apple is doing so that it doesn't get cheaply mass produced before he has a chance to release it. Hopefully he is gonna have 10,000 in stock before he says a word about it that way we don't have to wait.

11-27-2014, 03:17 PM
if you look at the pics i posted this machine comes in 2 vice versions as well. one for hawk and one for standard tubes.
It would be nice if that little switch was just a give or no give switch. I'm not a big fan of give, but it would come in handy for those who do.

I have a sneaking suspicion that he is going after the hawk and the flite in fell swoop. My prediction is he has a twist click RPG grip coming out with the edge and he is gonna have some sort of give bar or give system with different cams. Just a feeling but if he does FK may rule the world with it. And I am sure since he is building a cartridge only machine he is working on/developing cartridges. If he isn't he should.
