A Laconico Folder!

[raylaconico]

Here's a slipjoint that I made this weekend. It's my third and best one so far. The blade and backspring are both 1095. The handle is micarta with brass. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks! -Ray Laconico

Wow, I have to say I like it a lot. When it comes to folders I am definitely into more simple designs and this one has a definite sleek look to it. Any chance any of these will eventually be on sale in the sale area?

Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate them. I'll probably sell this after Christmas. I want to keep it for a week or two. The blade length is 3 1/4" and it's 1/8" thick.

I am lucky enough to be the guinea pig for this knife, I picked it up today for a few days of field testing. It has a good strong backspring, which is appropriate on a knife of this size. The edge is ground thin and it cuts cardboard well.

I have only had it in my hands for a couple hours, and I have also tried it on green apple wood and dry apple wood. It cuts well. I really like it. I only have a minor modification suggestion, which I will relay to Ray.

When he starts selling these, I'll be in line.
