I for one like it!Has that been there done that look!!Keep up the excellent work--from another Butch:thumbup:
 
VERY nice folder! That knife has HARD WORK---written all over it. Thanks for the pics!
 
That's a beast. Same size blade as your neckers? Are you worried about the O1 pins rusting?
 
i do not have pictures of then all together but i do have shots of all 4 folders ive done

so far as pin stock rusting the blade is not stainless so i thought not a big deal however i have 1/8 inch SS pin stock that could be swapped in
 
Looks very useful, Butch. I'm liking it. :thumbup:

I want one too, Butch. I already have one of your sheath knives. If the steel and the edge is as good as it, it will be a hellacious folder!!!
 
looks darn near gently when you put #0 in front of it :D
and you can see my box opener now 3 inch of blade ground out of 3/16 cpm154

That is one knife that begs to be put to work. It would look great in my pocket. I want to see more folders!!!:D:D
 
Looks like a great little knife! That burlap burl micarta is pretty cool, and nice job on the pics, too.
 
I'm glad you didn't pretty up the blade! it looks better as it matches the handles somewhat.
 
way i was working it MMM was if i scuffed the blade it was to get a nice satin finish blue ti and black G10

always a back up plan
i too like the way the earth tones came out on it
 
I am usually not a fan of that blade shape but I like it on that knife.Looks like a real cool utility knife.I like how the blade color matches the handle. Only defect I see is the thumb hole looks a little uneven but even that fits with the utility aspect of the blade.
 
working on getting more of the carbide tooling i need for cleaning up after heat treat.

had to "clean" up the oval with a smaller then needed carbide endmill good think i like tools as i seem to never need to stop buying more
 
I like them alot, classy but tough looking. kind of like an old boxer in a tux. :thumbup:
 
I like the look of that folder too. Never had heard of burl micarta before. Nicely done.
Your pictures are pretty good too....nice blocks of wood you have there!
