ECHELON

The Echelon Slider is a design I’ve been quietly thinking about in the background for several months — inspired by the sculpted hoods and sweeping fenders of classic performance cars. I’ve always been drawn to the balance found in older automotive design, where mechanical purpose met Art Deco elegance through deliberate lines and controlled curvature. Echelon carries that influence forward with a refined exterior geometry and an all-new plate architecture beneath the surface. Every contour and proportion was reconsidered, resulting in a cleaner visual flow, improved balance, and carefully tuned magnetic strength that enhances control without sacrificing presence. It represents a natural evolution — precision engineering shaped by enduring design language.

Let's look under the hood.  Echelons come stock with Medium Inserts.  Corner magnets are 3/16"x1/8" N52 while the center magnets are 3/16"x1/8" N42.  The center magnets are black in color while the corner magnets are silver.

The Echelon sliding plates are the result of many hours of prototyping and experimenting.   The idea was to design a plate set that would accommodate later heavier metals and still offer a buttery smooth slide.  This new plate design strikes the balance between friction and control with refined geometry and finely tuned air gap strength.
