Good morning BF's members,I have a few to show today,I'll start off with some folders by John Lloyd,fresh out of his shop...


Here is a custom toothpick by John,with faux tortoise shell handle scales. Non bolstered style " shadow" is real light weight. A great looking knife,feels real nice in your hand. Fancy pinned & inlaid ss " N.Y.K.Co. " shield. Pins & mill relieved liners are ss. Blade & spring are 52100 carbon. Hollow ground nice & thin. Crescent nail nick,cut swedge & satin finish on the blade. 5" closed,blade measures 3-7/8" from the tip to the handle scales,with3.5" of edge. Opened up it is 8-7/8" OAL. This knife has a good walk & talk with a smooth " 5 " pull, and I can "pinch" it open. Blade centers closed,spring is flush in all half stop positions.

This custom hand made slip joint folder by John Lloyd,has genuine India Sambar stag handle scales. The stag is hafted perfectly,with peened ss pins,matching texture & color.The stag also has a few natural " battle' scars on it & to me this is great,natural, character,look close at the pictures. It has a perfect flare from the butt to front,a thin knife,just perfect . Pins & mill relieved liners are ss. Bolster is ss with a "pinched " front,and a satin finish. Pinned & inlaid ss fancy bar shield. You can run your fingertips back & forth over his scales & bolster,on both sides & there is not a snag to be had. Workmanship like this compares to similar knives priced double or more. If you've not tried a pocket knife from John lately,you're missing out. Blade & spring are 52100 carbon. Thin hollow grind,crescent nail nick & cut swedge,also a satin finish on the blade. This knife has a nice walk & talk with a " 5 " pull,and I can pinch it open,too. 4' closed,blade measures 3.25" from the tip to the bolster,with 2-7/8" of cutting edge. Opened up it is 7.25" OAL. Blade centers closed,spring is flush in all half stop positions. Includes shipping in the States and Paypal fee's
