This was a fun build inspired by a request for a large folding chef knife. I adapted the concept a bit to suit the needs of someone who might be hired as a cook in an outfitter/elk camp. A person in such a role may need to do a fair bit of food prep while still being robust enough to handle other chores around camp.
This is not intended to be a pure daily chef's knife but rather an acceptable substitute that can do that and other tasks in a convenient, pocketable package.
Prototype "Camp Cook" folder. 4" blade of 1084/15n20 "River of No Return" pattern Damascus. Rounded spine with flipper tab and fileworked thumb grip. Fileworked tang. Black g-10 scales. Single jeweled titanium lock/liner. Blue anodized titanium pivot and body screws. Black g-10 fileworked backspacer. Black steel deep carry pocket clip. 5 1/8" closed.
