[Knife_maniac]

Hello guys !

I don't want open another tutorial thread, just want to show a few photos from the bench...

Here is my Aston folder that I designed last year.
Medium size EDC knife.

Here are some specs:

4" blade length
8,5" overall length
RWL 34 blade steel - ,157" thick
6AL4V titanium frame lock
Ball bearing pivot and ceramic detent ball for the smoothest, and fastest action
stainless hardware, pivot and standoffs

Let's go with photos...

Water cutted titanium, that's only part that I don't do myself....


Blades, marked and cutted

Tapping...


Handmatic minus 7x. Slow that slowest can't be ? but what can I do, it works !!hahahah


And that's all for today...
