Here's a pair of my most recent model, frame locks, flippers, stand-offs, clips. .160" titanium frames orange peeled to a durable and even finish, the one side is an integral front bolster with a carbon fiber scale, a titanium clip that's pocketed into the frame with a semi-polish finish and my signature. The smaller one is 3 3/4" s30v blade, closed length is 4 1/2" and weighs 3.9oz. The large in is a 4 1/2" s30v blade, closed length is about 5 1/2" and weighs 5.6oz. Both these guys sport a hidden relief pocket, something my dad thought of one day in search of a cleaner way to execute the relief cut (well, it's new to us), and as you can see, there is no relief cut on the outside of the frame. Thanks for looking!

Absolutely stunning. Incredible sense of design and curves. Nice.

Describe (or show) the relief cut, please? (I am assuming this is the removal of material at the start of the lock to allow it to flex?)

Precisely Coop, it starts at the bottom of the lock bar extending up about an inch and a half, the width of the lock bar and .100" deep, leaving an L-frame design. The pocket comes within .030" to the edge of the frame. Thanks for the compliments, too.
 
Brilliant. I assumed your description, and it's unlike anything I've seen. You can't tell from the overhead shot. Exactly why. :)

Thanks for the post!
