First Friction Folder

[Edbon09]

Hey BF. Here are a couple pics of my first completed friction folder. This would be the 12th knife that I have completed overall since I started making this past September. I thought it turned out OK, but have made many changes to the two models I am working on now.

This one is the first though. Natural Micarta handles with orange G-10 spacer and foliage green liners. Steel is 1095. The flats have an antiqued finish while the hollow grinds are acid washed and polished. Very steady and smooth movement during opening and closing with the bronze washers. Pocket clip is Ti.

As always, thoughts and ideas are welcome. Should be posting some WIP pics of the others I'm working on soon.

I like it a lot. Try one with a bottle opener under the lever.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Here are a couple pics of the 2nd one I just completed. Gave it to my brother as a gift.
