3 folders with Snakewood, Cocobolo and Damasteel

[Kevin Wilkins]

I haven't posted any photos in a while so I thought I'd put up a few! Here are three folders I just finished up. All three knives are sold. More information can be found on my website. Thanks for looking, I appreciate your comments!

First one is my Model D1, which is a smaller folder. Blade is Damasteel with Snakewood grips and titanium bolsters.

Next up, my Model Ghost Dog Pup, with a blade of Crucible's CPM S90V, bolsters of hardened Damasteel and Snakewood scales. Liners of bothe knives are 2mm 6AL4V titanium.

Last up, my model F7, a full sized folder, with a CPM S90V blade, hardened Damasteel bolsters and scales of fine Cocobolo. This knife also features a stainless springsteel clip.

Very nice! I especially like the second knife.

 

[Greenbone Boy]

Excellent taste! I like the last knife best.

I like them all, but my preference in blade shape is for numbers 1 & 3.

Those are all rather likable fellows! Great work, as usual. When Kevin or Jens, who are by far my two favorite folder makers, post stuff I just turn into a drooling ball of Jell-O®. Mmmmmmmmm....

I like the snakewood. Looks too weird to be natural. I've never seen it as "leopard-y" as that. Very cool. I'm going to go home and throw all my failed folder attempts into Lake Michigan, now.

Thanks everybody for the encouragement! Chiro, don't throw anything away! You may find a use for it later.

I'm still finishing the last few little things on the Ghost Dog Pup but all 3 will be on their way monday. That snakewood is some of the very best I ever had. I havent turned photoshop loose on it, that's pretty much the way it looks. Great contrast. I ordered it from the USA, www.exoticwoodgroup.com and I'll probably be getting more from then when this runs out. Snakewood is a drag to work on as it loves to split out, but it sure looks cool.
