Finished up my first framelock this past weekend. 1/8" O1 Blade acid etched and stonewashed, O1 backspacer acid etched and stonewashed. I used .160 Titanium for the handle scales, bead blasted, stonewashed, and anodized. Pocket clip is .125 Titanium, milled out, bead blasted, stonewashed and anodized. Caged ball bearings, 3/16" pivot, .020 hardened washers (so the titanium doesn't gall from the ball bearings. 1/8" stop pin with a hidden stop pin track.

Overall happy with how this one turned out, a few things that I will change for the next one. I have 5 different framelock designs that I drew up on DraftSight and can't wait to make the other 4.

Let me know what you think, I'm always open to criticism and suggestions!

 
Pictures need to be sexier. Or larger so I can see more detail. Looks great from here though. Well done.

Larger I can do, hopefully these are larger when you click on them! Photographer I am not, so I don't know how to make them sexier hahahaha!

Good thing this was a prototype. Next time I will angle the plunge line to match the front of the scale and bring it back a little bit. Also, already went into DraftSight and changed the flipper so that it is more centered with the peak on the bottom front of the handle scale.
