Crazy Dmitry Steel folder

[Dmitry.M]

This knife has very unique blade. I smelted the steel from the ore, than remelted it in the crusible. Than I hand forged the ingot. The steel has distinct and very pronounced fugure revealed by light etch.
The blade is 2-7/8" long and about 3/32" thick. The closed knife is 4-1/4" and a tad over 7" open.
The knife is liner\frame lock. The frame is 6AL-4V titanium, spacers, screws and the pivot are stainless. Knurled thumb post on one side only.
The scales are Sheoak, vacuum treated.
Overall this knife has nice walk and talk.
The closed blade centering is not perfect and the price reflects it.
You are welcome with any additional questions.

I ask SOLDfor it, shipped CONUS. Add $15 if you'd like to have a custom made pouch(contact me for details).
PayPal preferred, dmalakhov@hi.umn.edu
Thank you!

Crazy cool! Nice looking knife.

Are your dimensions for the length of the blade correctly listed? If the closed length is 4 1/4" and the blade length is 3 7/8" then shouldn't the overall open length be something near 8"?

 

[Dmitry.M]

Yeah, that was a nice typo... thanks. It is 2-7/8". Corrected, thank you very much!

why the asymmetrical handle scales? one side is rounded where the other has what appears to be a small guard.

 

[Dmitry.M]

It's a place for a thumb post. It also makes an access to the linerlock.

Dmitry, you made your own steel ! Incredible; this is a true "sole authorship" knife all the way. Congratulations Sir ! I am very impressed.

Dmitry,

The amount of effort and human capital that you expended on this knife is simply amazing! Great looking blade - I really like the pattern in the steel.
