Damascus Friction Folder with Textured Copper Handle - "The Barracuda"

[Shelby Mihalevich]

Here is my first offering in the exchange...

I've named this knife The Barracuda because it feels streamlined, fast and a little mischievous.

• damascus is 1084 and 15n20 that I forged myself
• handle is 16ga textured copper given a patina
• pins are 316 stainless
• bronze washers
• hand stitched leather pocket pouch
• sharp!

• 4.75" open
• 3" closed
• .08" at the thickest part of the spine (at the lever)

Asking $310 shipped in the US.

Thanks for your comments everyone.

Forgot to mention that this has bronze washers on the pivot.

That looks great. Real quick question, am I reading that right that the blade is 1.75"?

The closed length is longer than the handle itself because of the flipper (not sure what it's technically called). That part then folds into the handle when open, so you can't simply take open length minus closed length.

I would guess the blade is more like 2.5" or so, judging off pictures alone.

The cutting edge ends up being about 1 7/8". It's a pretty small knife in the scheme of things.
I can make them bigger, but someone wanted one that size a few months ago, and I kind of liked it.
