First Frame lock WIP.

[Nektarios]

Well i will like to show you something new I'm working with at the moment , now this is my first try to make a titanium frame lock and still needs a lot of work to do. So far i have cut and give shape to the blade and to the ti scales, next is to cut the lock, and put the stop pin in place, after that it will be time to grind the blade and make it ready for HT. I forgot to mention that the ti frame will have a sand blast look.
well here you go i hope you like it and any comments are welcome.

Ok here we go, For now i got the stop pin i place, and i have put the blade in the open and closed position, then i have cut the lock bar and drill a hole for the detent ball, next i have to cut the relief notch to the liner, and after that i will start to grind the blade.

Well i forgot to mention it but her it goes. There are a bunch of knife makers Down Under building this folder on the Australian Blade Forums. http://www.australianbladeforums.com/vb4/forumdisplay.php?96-Knife-Build-Offs.
It started when one of the members there (rslt) put up a picture of his folder design and i thought i will give this one a try because it reminds me allot of my cleaver model i have made, so i asked him if he would mind to give this a try, I decided to make this one a frame lock instead of a liner lock, and i have make some changes to the design so here it is so far.
