Well it seems Mike Stewart is getting ready to produce a folder. He has been carrying and using a frame lock prototype. Kind of looks like Chris Reeves. You can be assured that id Bark River actually puts this folder into production I will be one of the first to put my name on the list. Mike makes nothing short of 1st class quality.

I like the looks of that one, and would love to see more pics (open, closed, other angles etc). I wouldn't buy one unless he made a left hand version though, right hand liner locks just don't work for me. That sure is a beauty.

How big is it? Is that about a 3" blade?

Looks just like a Sebenza.

I own a sebbie and dont really agree. The bladeshape is like the bravo1 series which isnt a lot like a seby blade. Handle is also totally different. They are both titanium framelocks though by the looks of that one

Yeah, after looking at it more you're right. My post was my initial response without really examining it, "oh it's a sebenza", before I really stared at it.
 
It reminds me - the handle shape, anyway - of the folders that Walter Brend designed for Boker about 10 years ago.
 
I like it but agree that a LH modle is needed before I would buy one. Its going to take a lot to get this LH millie out of my pocket.
 
It would take a lot to beat a Millie, lefthanded or righthanded.

I also think it looks like a Bravo folder myself.
 
i also see the influence of the bravo in the blade shape but the handle looks almost exactly like an emerson cqc-7 to me, thats not a complaint at all. If these enter production id love to get one depending on the price. If its in the 400 dollar range id probably just opt for a sebbie, On the other hand if its about 2-300 ill probably snap up one or two.
 
Design looks good, a folding Bravo looks like a winner. Price, size and material will be deciding factors, I expect the quality to be good.
 
Apparently it will come with a variety of handles to choose from!

+1 for the lefty's!!!!

yeah, price is the factor. seeing as how the Bravo1 runs around $160 give or take, with this being Ti, and possibly A2, I'm going to guess it will be pushing $250-$275

but this is just a WAG
 
I doubt it will be A2, but if is, I'm in for sure. There are not enough carbon steel pocket clip knives, both my M4's are one of fifties, I just can't make myself carry 'em.

Im hoping this turns out to be an accurate guestimate as to the price. I can't really think of any reason that the price would be substantially higher.
 
I wouldn't mind the blade even being 12C27. I've been liking this stuff. Easy maintenance, rust resistant, sharp!
