Hello,
as you know, I really enjoy making scagel style hunting knifes.
Beside my fixed blades, I allways dreamed about making a scagel inspired pocket knife, now, I would like to show you the results.

In the year 2010, working on the pivot of a micromotor, I came across the idea, to use a little bearing on the pivot of a pocket knife, to reduce friction and wear and to allow a smooth opening.

So I started working on the first model to see what's possible.

After a 5 month long lasting paper war with the patent office (loads of bureaucracy here in spain) I got finally the patent with option to prolongate up to 10 years.

I tried to sell the patent to spyderco and muela, but at the end, I decided to produce them by myself for some of my customers.

After uncounted prorotypes with backspring and other systems, I decided on a backspring and blade from 52100, 8cm long.

Wow, awesome folder and a great idea! If criticism is allowed I'd like it a little more with a little more tip like the blade seems to have on some wip pictures and i'd prefer the torx-screws over the loveless-style bolts, but that's a matter oder taste I think.

All the best from germany

Great looking folder !

Same thing as above about the tip.

But I like the old-school bolts!

;)
 
Thanks a lot for your kind comments.
Actually, I tried some different bladeforms, more point, longer clip and several handle materials as sambar, ram and wood.

I really like the materials and finish on these. Nicely done. Do you have a diagram for your patent?
