It’s done!
AND it works beautifully!
Two things I wasn’t too confident in throughout most of the project

Anodized titanium frame lock knife with a recurve stonewashed 1084 blade.


So much to say about this project but I’ll just put down a list of firsts:

First time designing my own folder
First time making a frame lock knife
First time grinding a recurve
First time cutting titanium
First time using hardware this small
First time first time drilling titanium
First time a project has required this much precision
First time stone washing a blade
And First time electro-anodizing anything

A mill would make this so much easier.

Looking back at the list I’m pretty surprised this thing actually worked out.

I likely made just about every mistake in the book but super happy with the final product and am excited to try another
 
nice one
