First knife in a while. Mountainman folder

[rocketmann]

I haven't been in the shop for a long time due to work and life getting in the way. This is my 1st mountainman folder. Sorry about the huge pic's, I need some editing software. More pics on my website untill I can resize some to post here.

Thats cool. I like how you put the spring on the outside.

Thanks, but it wasn't my idea. These have been around for a long time.

 

[Southclaw]

oh ok. I still like it! good job.

I really like it. Often when I see "mountain man" or "frontier style" on a tag line, the knife ends up looking a little too rough. Yours does certainly not fall in that category. I really like how that came together.

Glad to see you're back in the shop Louis! I like this one a lot.

For those who want to try this style, there are two inexpensive book/CD, called "Antler and Iron II" and "Little Uglies II". Oak and Iron makes them. Lots of advise and ideas in it.
