Have you ever thought of putting material on both sides of your handles? I know it's harder to do with framelocks, but to me it makes the knife so much more attractive.
 
It looks like more of your GREAT WORK Jason! Keep those AWESOME folders coming! Kevin :thumbup::thumbup:

I think, with the thickness of a frame lock, putting scales on both side makes the knife to thick.
I have built them with scale on both and will build them that way if requested, but the majority of my orders have been for frame locks like this and the material on one side keeps the price down.

1. Why aluminum? Especially not anodized for oxidation avoidance?

2. Where is the rest of the blade?

I used the aluminum cause its light, but wanted the effect of a bolster that looked classic to go with the burl.
#2 I'm guessing your asking why the blade is so much shorter than the handle or closed length, if that is the case, I was trying to keep the blade around 3" and that size of handle fits my hand.

1. Titanium is light too, and inert, relatively speaking, whereas aluminum is reactive with all kinds of materials, which is why it is generally anodized or coated.

2. There is a generally accepted rule of knifemaking with regard to folders....jam as much blade in a handle as you can......what educated buyer cares how well the handle fits YOUR hand?...they want to know how it fits THEIR hand, and how much blade you got into it.;)

doesn't Ernest Emmerson produce a knife with something around a 3" blade, and a full length handle? One of the reasons why I now carry a straight knife is because a shorter blade is more useful to me, and especially because I have good leverage over it with a full handle.

I think the comment about anodizing your aluminum is something you should think about. I wouldn't buy a knife, or anything else, made from aluminum which wasn't ano'd.

The knife has a nice profile, and I've been noticing little improvements over the last while in your knives, design-wise. Keep up the good work:thumbup:

Ernie Emerson isn't trying to make a name for himself....he can fart into a jar, call it SpecAir, and sell it to hundreds of willing buyers.....I doubt the OP can do the same.
