Here's one of my folding knives.
Beadblasted Titanium Framelock. ATS-34 blade. Titanium Spacers and pocket clip.
Knife has a 3/8" diameter bronze pivot bushing, and nylatron washers.
Pocket clip can be mounted to either side.
I anodized this knife gold, didn't like it, and beadblasted it off the outside, leaving it anodized on the inside.
It ended up being pretty cool.

Sweet!

You should take a pic at an angle that shows some of the gold liner! I'd be interested to see what kind of effect that has....
 
I looked at the pics. on your web site of this knife. The cut you made for the lock bar looks pretty wide, other than that it looks to be a very well made folder.
 
Thanks for the feedback guys I appreciate it.
I went out and mesured the slot, it's about .080 wide.
I used the smallest cutter I had at the time. I've now switched to using a thin cuttoff wheel that leaves it about .040, but I cut several at .080 first.

I'll see if I can get a photo on the website showing the color in the liner (there's a bit of purple and gold), but I'm not real handy with a camera, as the pictures prove.
