Well here is the 4th folder that I have managed to finish. Actually I am rather pleased with this one. Not quite ready to start selling any but getting there. This is fun!!!
Closed length 2 1/2"
overall length 4 1/2"
titanium liners .050
440C blade
liner lock
damasteel bolsters
blacklip scales
BTW this was a set of the A grade scales

Please let me know what you think.
Thanks
Steve

Steve, Very nice !
I would, however, make a suggestion.
It looks like the screws on the pearl are major construction (as in holding the whole knife together )screws. If so ,this makes the pearl very susceptable to breaking with the stress that these screws would put on it during use.
On my knives I recess these screws into the liners -0.025" countersink, then slightly flatten the buttonhead so that it is flush with the liner.
Then the pearl scales can be mounted with their own 2 screws (along the center-line) threaded into the liner only- this reduces how tight you have to screw them in, and keeps the holes away from the fragile edges.
Hope this is of some use. Keep up the good work.
