First Frame lock WIP.

The sharpend · Jun 22, 2013

Nice work n and as for the designer well I'm sure the frame lock design has been about for a while

.
And I'd hazard a guess nektarios forgot, as he is one of the most accommodating knife makers I've worked with.
Also the actual blade I know nek made around 2 years ago this shape , a cleaver firestorm HHH .
Also makes a rather nice skinner and neck knife and FF

Great wip updates fella , very nice knife and that RWL is truly great steel .
Even for those that might not notice subtle differences in steels , RWL is obvious when its used how good it is.
Are you going for one of your mirror polished finishes on this one ? I can vouch for those

mine still surprises me every time I take it out .
Look forward to the complete package N a classy knife indeed ATB mate .

ok here we have an update for this folder, so far i have cut the relief notch to the liner, put the detent ball in place and drill the hole to the blade, the next i have to do it's to clean and sharpen the blade and sand blast the frame.
To be continued stay tuned.

I hope you like it.
