I agree, very nice knife.

Personally, I would've swooped the blade a little more, but your handle speaks for itself.
 
Do you have a website? I really like that folder. That handle looks comfortable as all heck.
 
I don't think there is anything I dislike about that knife. Well, except that I will probably never have a chance to handle it.
 
Very nice! The design is excellent, from the blade shape to the handle. It does look really comfortable to use; both practical and attractive. I'm not personally a fan of the disc opener, if it had an oval hole (like the old AFCK) I'd definitely consider it...
 
Job well done :thumbup:

I love that handle, and love that high grind line. Looks very sharp. The only thing I would change if it was for me would be losing the horn on top of the handle. In use they cause a hotspot on the thumb. All though it does look great on this knife, and its hard to judge with out handling it. :cool:

Please keep us up to speed on number two. K Thx :D
 
Hi Kam,

Really nice to see you and this knife at Blade. You took very clear photos for us to see.

I believe there is much more to your story that deserves telling. Let's start: Who is your mentor? He is a GREAT teacher, both spiritually and with the craft.

Thanks!

This is a great folder, elegant and well executed. Congrats! I see inspiration from Lum and Emerson - not a bad influence.

Hi Coop,

Good to see you at Blade.

My mentor is Jot Singh Khalsa, this folder was made in his shop. I've been apprenticing with him for a total of 6 months, 3 months last year and 3 months this year. I'll be heading back to the UK tommorow, hoping to set up my own workshop.

Like you say, Jot is a great teacher, he has taught me alot.

Hey bro that sure is an awesome design. The handle reminds me of JOT and the blade reminds me of Emerson. You sure have a future in this field.

take care and hope to see more from you eh
