First Liner Lock Folders

[Joe Edson]

After many drawings on paper and then modeling with Kydex I finally gave these a go. Certainly learned a ton through the build process and likely will be doing some changes on the next go around. I just used materials I had on hand and likely will be doing some more rust resistant ones going forward.

Comments and critique are certainly welcome and appreciated.

1st one:
W2 w/ hamon
Carbon fiber and Kevlar Scales. carbon fiber back spacer.
Jeweled and Blue Anodized titanium liners, thumbstud and pivot screws.





2nd one:
