1st Folder --

[Burchtree]

Well, it ain't much but I made it. This was a huugggeee learning experience for me. I learned to have my pivot and stop pin further back, otherwise your detent spot on the blade show up in the open position.

Like I said, it is pretty bare-bones -- it was going to have a hamon and all that, but it stayed pretty utilitarian.

Thanks for checking it out.

I think it looks great too. way to go! I made one linerlock and now I'm trying to make a couple of framelocks, so I know first hand how much sweat and stress goes into this first venture. I really like your blade!

Good going. I hate you. My drawer is full of titanium and PC O1 scrap. Next one will be a winner, though. How did you cut your lock? Did you use the cutting wheel in the drill press with a cheap cross slide vice maneuver? Anyway, good job! As with all knives, they will only get better from there. I keep trying to cut corners, and then I pay for it with a ruined folder. So, if I can simply force myself to calm down and stick to my procedure I will be able to do it, too. Looking forward to the next one!
