hey everybody!
this has been in the works for some time now, but i just finished it up for my future father in-law.
I really wanted to use some of this cool composite that i got. it is alot harder than micarta, but is the same sort of thing. but i didnt want to tap it. so i used a piece of steel for the back, and used that to hold the scales together. the pin in the spine is help into the steel back spacer by a set-screw, so the whole thing will come apart.
the blade is O1 and i left the final tempering cycle till the very end so i could keep the golden color. it is polished sharp , and made as a user.
i have always kinda disliked the friction folders that are made from antler. they look very... frontiersy, which is fine, i just dont personally like it. so... i wanted to make something modern looking without the Ti liner lock.. and here is what i did.
your critique is greatly appreciated.
thanks for looking!
