This is my second framelock and the first that I have sold... I hope you guys enjoy it!

Blade - just under 3.5"

Really like the lines of the knife, sweetly ground blade.

Hate the chainring pivot....is the blade centered?

Best Regards,

Much appreciated!

I'm always listening to feedback, thanks for the input on the chainring. I have some cleaner looking AKS pivots I need to get the tooling for.

Yes it is centered but the chisel grind makes it look off in the pics, same gap all the way though.

Thanks for taking the time to post on my work!
 
There's something about this knife I LOVE. Fantasic lines and originality. Kudos to Mr. Fairly
 
Well done Dan

Big thumbs up.

I would like to see a couple smaller bolts on that clip;)
 
That is such a nice knife. Someday I have to own one. I hope you make these for a while.
 
Hehe, I hate it when a chisel-ground blade is off-center. :rolleyes:

I cannot stop looking at this dang knife. I can only imagine what sort of refinements the knife will get over time.
 
Love the blade! The clip looks a wee bit over-sized for the knife. I would like the lock to engage with the tang just a scorch more. Could be the angles of the pic but it looks like its just touching there. But that blade is really something cool... I wont hold the fact that its a chisel grind against you. :D

Also really like the size and choice of steel. Most importantly I'm sure they will sell like hotcakes!
 
092- Yes but the "correct side" is the side the customer likes. No right-or-wrong need apply here.

Thanks! :D Oh that was on purpose with the clip, no way I'd accidentally drill the wrong holes and have to do that! :p Next time! ...smaller sunk screws.

Thanks! I'll be refining as I go... learning fixed blades was challenging but this has been a serious learning process for me. Fun stuff! I always try to make each knife better than the next. Much appreciated!

Thanks! I'll be slimming down the clip a bit, most will have a deep carry clip that is more standard.

The lock engages further than the pics show, I had to do a double take myself! Spine whacking isn't exactly a use for a knife but it takes it well.

Man. Daniel. Are you prepared for the tidal wave or orders that will be coming? :D

Thanks Shawn! I get orders faster than I can make them so I closed the books a ways back... it has been tough turning everyone down! I need to work in shifts! :D 7 days a week in the shop this year...

Very impressive! You taking orders yet? ;)

I'd like to, I need a factory or something! I'm still finishing up some fixed blades but getting into full swing on the folders.

I'll be making a lot and will not be raising my prices this run or year. I'm doing my best to keep it very fair and to eliminate any hype!

Thanks! I really like working with Titanium... should have gotten pics of the millwork on the inner frames.

Awesome!

Glad to see people making a chisel grind on the correct side.

I like to make the bevel on the right side for right handed use and vice-versa. I really like the way a chisel grind cuts and want to make sure they are are geared for performance.

I hear you! For me when the plane or flat side is down (bevel on right in right hand or opposite for left) I get a way better cutting action.

I have been playing around with microbevel placement and this one has a slight bevel on the planing side as well as the chisel side for versatility, it will work well in either hand.

Big respect to Jimmy Fikes for the inspired "rolled" back bevel for strength with minimal drag.
