I like to show you my latest creation, my first frame lock folder.
Handle in 3.2mm sand blastet Titanium, Blade 3.2mm RWL-34 steel
Length in close position it's 12cm, open 21,5cm and blade length is 9cm.
Hope you like it.

Looks like clean, tight work. Not sure about the blade shape, would take some getting used to. But fantastic first frame lock.
 
I actually like the modified Wharncliffe/Sheepsfoot blade. Its a popular style blade as of recently and is pretty practical.

And its nice to see a utilitarian design that can actually cut well. It looks like it would be very comfortable and cut and slice well.

I would say for any Ti framelock, not just your first, that its a great design.
 
That's the kind of knife i'm looking for, love the blade on it, although I would prefer a blade that had a more squared off tip to it, and it's really slim. Would totally buy a knife like that, keep it up!

Thanks for the kind comment about my Work, and i'm glad you like it.
 
Very nice effort! Those slightly curved beefy Wharncliffe blades housed in a straightforward cleanly designed Ti framelock have always really spoken to me. Reminiscent of Michael Burch, Jared Price, Alan Davis creations. Would certainly be interested in something similar in a 68 to 76mm length blade, in the 4/5mm (thick) range.

Please keep up the good work...
 
Thanks for the kind words and comments about my Work guys,
Well for this one as a request from the buyer i will make a sheath for it, but for the next i will put a pocket clip on it.
 
Nice work N mate you starting YouTube reviews now ;) .
Is that a different one to the one I saw or just earlier stage of the build ?.

Hi Mate No it is the same folder , yes i know it looks a bit different in the pictures but it is the same folder :D
 
I like it a lot and I'll tell you why:
1) It is a good size, looks like a 4 inch blade?
2) Its flat ground. Don't see enough of those.
3) It has ambidextrous thumb studs. Nice touch.
4) Its not a flipper (done to death)
5) I like the blade profile. Its different and actually very practical.
6) I like the little bit of visual interest in the backspacer. Adds a little flair to all that titanium.
7) I like the flared butt, which will aid in keeping the knife in the hand.
8) I like the steel choice, its a great all-rounder for a working folder.
9) I like how the line of the blade spine blends into the handle when the knife is closed.

The only thing I don't like is the absence of a pocket clip. You need to attend to that pronto. ;)
