1 blue G10, 1 red G10
3/32" Blade stock of 1095 high carbon steel
3 7/8" closed, 6 3/4" overall
Milled recessed stainless steel liners
Half-stops with good walk and talk
Medium to stiff blade pull, not a nail breaker but good and solid.
My friend Josh wanted to know if I could make a smaller, front pocket version
of my Back pocket shadow knife. He got the first one and this is the next two.
I really think this version is my favorite.

Wow Gene, these turned out quite nicely. I'm particularly impressed with how you sunk the joint without giving up too much on the blade width. As nice as these look, I think it will look even better dressed in black;)
 
Those are pretty cool Gene! Come up with one in a modified Wharncliffe blade shape with a nice splinter picker point later and it may be more than I can resist. ;) Seriously, great job. I really like the blue one.

Those two look great! But add a white one in between and you'll have red, white and blue and be more patriotic. (I am writing this as I am watching our President speak at the tragic Tucson Memorial.)
 
These are sweet folders. I especially like the pivots - nice and large! Ever consider making these linerless?
 
This maker is new to me but i'd say these 2 knives are likely the best deal in folders ever posted in this forum.

I appreciate the comments. As to the liner-less folders, I will have to study up on that.
Thanks to Josh for helping me get information on them. I might give it a try.

You are quite welcome Gene. The comments are well deserved as these look to be an exceptional value.
 
Very nice folders, I have a brother in law that would love one and as STR said if you make a spliter picker in this style and around the same price consider it SOLD!
 
Just received the red folder and another absolute beast of a knife. Functional design with beautiful fit and finish - an excellent tool. THANKS!!!
 
I just got the blue one this afternoon and I must say I am very impressed. Fit and finish are superb. I feel like I stole this knife for the price. For the sake of constructive criticism I will say that the back spring pressure is pretty heavy. It's not quite a nailbuster to open but not far from it. Other than that a great all around knife. I think we will be seeing amazing things from Mr. Wiseman going forward. :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the comments. I will lighten up the backsprings from here on out. I had been judging it on whether or not my wife could open them but I think she might just be getting stronger.

I received the black prototype Friday afternoon and I couldn't be more impressed with this knife. I agree with Corey on all accounts, except on the back spring. Mine is just right, though I do like a stiff spring. I don't think it close to a nail buster though. I think this is just the beginnings of some special offerings from Gene:thumbup:
