Hi people-
this little pocket knife is the first folding knife I made, and it was really fun to make. I still can't quite believe I made it. Looking forward to making another one soon!
Anyway, the blade is around 3.5" Cruwear at about 5/32". The pivot is 1/4" and the stop pin is 3/16", so pretty stout and maybe overkill for a knife this size. It has bronze bushings. Has a slightly chubby appleseed edge bevel, because that's what I like and I plan on making this my edc from here on out.
The handle is G10 laminated to burlap micarta, and the fasteners are titanium bicycle disk brake rotor bolts. The bolts holding the frame together are dereilleur pulley bolts.
If you want a bit of an indepth view of how it went together, mosey on over to my subforum HERE
I call it Bird because I can't stop flipping it.
Thanks for checkin it out!
PS. you may have noticed that the pocket clip seems familiar, and sort of trashy. Well, it's from your standard issue, stainless steel Olfa knife. I designed the handle to be compatible with Olfa's clips just in case there's a clip emergency, but I'll be making a titanium clip for it at some point. It'll be a little tricky but it's a neat concept that I haven't really seen done. So, I'll follow up when I get er done
