A New Flipper Framelock with Zirconium

[raylaconico]

It's been a while since I posted anything in this forum so I thought I'd share my newest knife. The blade is 3 5/8" long ctx-xhp steel rolling on caged bearings. The handle is zirconium on the scale side and backspacer with a Ti lockside. Zirc is pretty easy to machine but for me it was a lot of work to finish. You can see every little scratch and blemish when you heat it. It took me a while but I like the way it turned out. Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful work - never seen a full zirconium scale before. Like the blade shape as well.

I'll take it

Nicely done, Ray. The zirconium looks great, but it can be a pain to finish.

As always, man - clean. REAL clean.

Digging it!!!!

Ridiculously nice... as if that's a surprise!! Par for the course with Ray...

I'm not a folder man at all but I really like this. Think it's the mean mini harpoon clip bowie blade that draws me to it and the clean precision work I think we have all come to expect

All of the above, Ray.
