I really like making theese interframes. They are challenging to get right, but ohh so rewarding.

Thanks for looking.

That looks great! The only thing I would add if I ordered it (if they available please email me!) would be a cutout to easily access the lock bar
 
Thanks guys for your kind words, much appreciated.

Robb,

The stud is just polished steel on top.

Ernie1980,

There is actually a "cutout" in that the frame on the front side is cut out about 2 mm deeper than on the lock side. It just does not show in the pictures. That being said, I could obviously add a cutout if desired. This one is however spoken for and this is not the correct place for selling. If I have any available in the future, I will post them in the "for sales" section. I really appreciate the feedback though.

Thanks

Not my style of knife
but.................I really, really, like this one!
Very nice work and great looking knife.
 
Thanks Mark,

Much appreciated. I think the koa works well with the blasted ti and I love using woods for the inlays. The difficulty is finding pieces with a very tight burl pattern, cause the inlays are so small.
