Here are a few pics of my first folder. Tell me what you think.

Specs:
Steel: o1

hardware scavenged off of some knife

P.S. any criticism is greatly appreciated!
 
That's really cool. Only thing I'd have done different is the ricasso area. The plunge should start in front of the handle, and should not leave a sharp edge exposed where your finger could bump into it in my opinion. Otherwise that thing kicks butt!

Thanks Darcey, i for sure would have made the blade a little bit different, but i actually was using an old blade from a fixed blade i had started a long time agohttp://www.bladeforums.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

thanks for the advice!

That is fucking awesome. I've always thought sheepfoot blades were cool looking and I love the simplicity of a friction folder.

i should have it finished up in a couple of days.
