    How about a picture of it open, and any markings/letters on the blade or handle?

    Might be good if we could all link to the picture, maybe try and back track it.

    Can you post a link to the original pic?

    Google image search gets a pic of an A-100. It doesn't have the round thing in the middle of the lock bar, and the pocket clip is different.

    I'm not sure how to link to the original. I'll try tomorrow. The site where I found it was in Hungarian. I was looking for some ideas on my next folder. Seen this and really like the look of it. I'm drawing something similar to it in AutoCad now. Trying to work out any problems.

    Love AutoCad for designing folders.

    Oh and can anyone tell me about the little round deal in the middle of the handle

    Over-extention of the lockbar while closing the blade.

    That's a lock bar stabilizer, invented by Rick Hinderer IIRC.

    It prevents damage to the lockbar by pushing it too far when unlocking the blade.

    Man that is a sweet looking knife!

    It does sort of resemble a A100 but I think that's where it stops. No flat disk thumb stud. Looks to be a little bit more squared.

    no clue of who made it, maybe email the owner of the site?

    I know this guy. He makes absolutely precise liner lock folders, and often tunes up factory ones as well. Here is his album:
    http://indafoto.hu/kesportal/zsolt
    He made a miniature liner lock folder, having everything like the big ones, even the small ball in the lock! Note that the 100 forint coin is about 25cent US or 1euro sized.

    That is my Ideál model, he made it for me after a personal discussion how should it look like exactly. I love his knives, I will have more that's for sure.



    Unfortunatelly I have a cheap and weak compact digital camera, and the photo of mine is terrible. The knife looks way much better in real life.

    As the Hungarian forum cannot access without registration, so I found something on a German one. I cannot speak German, so I'm not a registrated member there. I have found this paticular knife what you looking for, from another view:
