Very nice. I love the simplicity of the FF.
I have a beauty coming from Filip De Leeuw is about a month. I'll post a pic.
Tnx!!

Howdy John, and Welcome! I'm glad you stopped in and hope you come by often and hang out with us here.

I have owned about a bakers dozen in my life time and still have several as I write this.. Here are a couple shots of one by Mike Wilson.

I very much like your wears here thus far!. Your custom sheathes are quite nice too!

John,

Those are great looking and they got my ears perked up. The sheathwork for them is also astounding.

Anthony, great to see that knife from Mike again.

I only have one and Mike made it from O1. It is a great cutter that gets carried occasionally.

Thanks guys. I will be stopping in and posting as I make new ones. I used to make what I wanted and offer it up, but lately I have been working mostly on custom orders and slipping in a "want to do" project every once in a while!

All nice ones. I really like the second one best.. Thanks for posting.

Awezum!!
Will there be a FF rebirth?

I certainly hope so Lycosa! In the past I've made lockbacks, slipjoints and of course linerlocks, but these are by far my favorite, and about all I make as far as folders nowdays.

 

[Lycosa]

John, you're in the Groove. Ride-it!!
Tnx!!

Only one I have that's usable is a Pat Crawford Key Ring Claw, I love it, because its design is so flat I keep it in my wallet and often use it as a knife to eat with it is very Sheeple Friendly and non threatening.

Ill have to take a pic and post it, unless anyone has a pic or link to post for me till I get one up.:thumbup:

 

[John M Cohea]

Thanks everyone!

I used to be really into modern tactical knives and folders(I know better now) and I thought the friction design would be perfect for a tactical folder in the UK where locking mechanisms are illegal. Since i have gotten into knives with history and character I have still had a soft spot for the design. The ones shown are beutiful but a little to nice for my taste. I would prefer something less ornate and more workmanlike so I could use it without guilt.

Still as criticism goes being to beautiful and well made is not the worst thing in the world.

 

[John M Cohea]

Thanks for your thoughts Unsub. I plan on doing some in the future that are a little less ornate but still in the same styling. Sometimes I can't help myself and tend to get overly artistic even when I try to do plain and simple!

Very nice work JMC! Love the sheaths as well :thumbup:

 

[John M Cohea]

Thanks Mick57!!
