Hello friends, please, let me to show You my newest design for flippers.
Flipper linerlock with titanium frame. Spacer and scales are made of black G10. Blade hardened and tempered to 60-61Hrc is made of 300 layers of carbone tool steels. 440C steel insert in lock. I let it higher a bit, it provides more comfort unlocking in this deep fingerchoil.
measures: closed lenght 115mm (4.52"), flipped lenght 205mm (8.07") and 3mm thickness (0.118")
weight: 118grams (4.16 ounces)

What Do You think? :)

Very very nice! The lines are so clean that when open, you even don't figure out it's a folder, but think you have a well profiled fixed blade. I am a fan.
Congrats.
 
I had a quick look on your web site and facebook site. I like a lot all your work and I am glad to put your name on the list of knifemakers from who I must get a piece once.
Regards
 
The knife is beautiful! very well designed and it appears to be really a very good cutter because the grind is super! Generally i don't like flippers, but love this one.
The only area i believe would be worth dialing further is the thickness of the scales. In my opinion, given the contouring there could be a margin to thinning them a bit, improving the flowing to the blade spine and making it more pocket friendly without loosing handling comfort.
 
Hello, many thanks for Your criticism. Is possible to make it with thinner scales, even with pocket clip. Depends on customer choice. Personally, I preffer comfort-thicker handle. Now I am waiting for delivery G10 package in .187 thickness. So next produced will thinner.
