2 blade lock back folders w/ silver and MOP.

[Mark Daley]

Here are two knives I have recently finished. In the early stages I had a mix up in printing the pattern and ended up with the liners shaped and drilled one size and the blades and backsprings slightly larger. After much cursing and investigating I think I must have said ok to the printer resizing the image. At least I won’t do that again. So as to not let any of my work go to waste I made two knives.
The larger has sterling silver and mother of pearl scales. The rest of the knife is ATS 34 except the center liner which is titanium. 2 7/8″ blades and is 9 1/4″ overall open and 3 1/2″ closed
The smaller has sterling silver, mother of pearl, and mild steel scales. The rest of the knife is ATS 34 except the center liner which is titanium. 2 3/4″ blades is 9″ open and 3 3/8″ closed.
Both knives are lockback.

Nice work! Seems like a very complex project, very well executed. I love the hidden screws (pins?) and way you made the 'subtle' lock back releases.

Beautiful.

thanks for the compliments. They go together using keyed pivot pins so they can be taken apart but it is difficult because of the locating pins.

This is a picture I took just before assembling the smaller one.
