couple of Bamboo Folders --

[Burchtree]

I was supposed to have these done for Blade, but time ran out. :grumpy:

This one was done last week. It's a little greasy in the pics, but it had to make a trip to Poland.

These have a cutting edge of about 2 1/2 inches out of 3/16th-inch 1095. They are about 6 1/2 inches overall open and 4 inches closed. The handles are sand-blasted and stonewashed .125 ti.

Look at these pretty fingers!

Edge isn't sharpened BTW -

Here is one I finished last night -- it got a quick pic this morning:

Thanks for checking them out --

Awesome , love the whole concept of the knife.
From blade shape to choice of colors , the hamon is quite nice too.

Great job :thumbup:

Sweet as ever! Thanks for the day's eye candy!

That is one of my favorite folder designs. When people say that as far as knifemaking is concerned, everything has been done before and there's nothing new under the sun, I like to point out designs like this one.

wow that is a beautiful knife. Every little detail is just superb. I would love to own one of thoes.

 

[Burchtree]

Thank you all very much!

Beautiful work! I have a Mcusta knife like that and I love the way it feels in the hand. And from the pics, I like yours even better. Now make some big ones!

 

[Burchtree]

Really? I'll have to check out their line-up --

 

[Redsnake1997]

Those are GREAT looking folders. What $$ are those going for? My funding is a little low right now... but who knows what next month will bring.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

The Mcusta doesn't look like yours, other than that they have made their handle resemble bamboo.

 

[Burchtree]

ah, I feel better now. Cool-looking knife though!

Looks like you have this folder thing figured out Burch. Keep up the good work.

Hey, sorry I didn't get around to see ya at Blade, I just had my hands too full.

 

[Burchtree]

Thanks Don -- don't worry, I plan on inviting myself up for a shop visit some time.

Awsome knife Michael, I love the grind, you wouldn't happen to have any pics with the knife closed would you?

 

[Burchtree]

That I do, I just snapped on off this morning for someone:

 

[commodorewheeler]

Great work, Michael! I really like this design.

I'm new to this site and also to the whole knife world. So forgive my lack of knowledge when it comes to accepted knife-guy terminology. But I would like to say, in layman's words: That silvery bambooish MCUSTA knife is effin' awesome.
