First Folder

[B . Buxton]

I just finished this folder up yesterday. It was my first attempt at folders, but it won't be my last. I want to say a big THANK YOU to Ray Rogers and Jason Howell for taking the time to make and share two wonderful folder tutorials. I would still be scratching my head and wondering what to do next if it wasn't for those. Thanks Guys.
OAL 7 3/4", blade 3 3/8", closed 4 3/8". The blade steel is a one of a kind mosaic, that I made by stacking and welding left over accordian cut pieces from other mosaic billets. The Bolsters and back strap are from a low layered reverse twist. The wood is Thuya. The action and lock on this folder is as tight as a plug in a jug.

Thanks for lookin,

Bill

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sure hope this doesnt mean the end of the fixed blades and hawks Bill. Absolutely stunning. You sure didnt bother doing a plain-jane for a first one.

Bill, I knew you were up to no good....... Looks to me like you been making them right along but I believe you. Thats a sweet looking knife! How about a folding tomahawk? Your one talented fellow!

Looks like an excellent success on the first try, my friend! Well done.

Hey Bill,

Since this is your first folder there must be a lot of things wrong with it, right?
Damned if I can see them , though!

Absolutley SWEET!

[Dan Gray]

man that is nice Bill BUt don't limit that baby to wood Bill some Blue Bark mastodon would make that drop dead nice not that it isn't now but the wood just doesn't do it for me for that Damascus folder I hope you don't take that the wrong way..
