I am fortunate to have 3 of Frank's lockbacks and a linerlock he made just the way I wanted it.
His filework is so precise and matched up and delicate, it is the example I wanted to follow on my own knives.
His fit and finish is fantastic....the handrubbed finish on his blades and bolsters where applicable is just perfect. Blades are perfectly centered and tapered. Action on the knives is crisp and clean as can be. When he dovetails his handles/bolsters the look is so crisp and clean it looks like the material is the same piece, just a change in texture and color.
IF you are going to carry one of Frank's folders, give him a call, discuss with him exactly what you want, listen to his suggestions.
Frank is as gracious a gentleman as he is a skilled knifemaker.
If you want to wait for the BLADE Show to pick up a folder from Frank, get to his table as the show opens. He should be sitting right as you walk in the door next to D'Holder. Frank either sells out or sells almost everything pretty quickly after the doors open.
I am sorry I don't have pictures to show you.
By the way, beware how close he gets to a microphone, you might just find out Frank is pretty good a croonin' one of Frank Sinatra's classics.......
). Very light and slim, with sheep horn handles and nickel silver bolsters.
