And

If you have one of John's folders don't be shy about posting pics.

Here's mine: JK Stubby #1.

You've been holding out on us,or did I miss something.

I like the looks of your friction folders, maybe Ill be able to unload some production knives I have so I can buy one.

ANd another question. What is the blade thickness on my cubscout?

After grinding it should be a little under 1/8".

Thanks KYe,I had no idea John made some in the not so distant past.

JK Knives · Dec 18, 2011

This is the handle style that I am currently making, in any micarta or G10. Handle slabs are each 1/8" thick (I can go thicker), with no steel liners. This one is a wharncliff style blade, but I will do clip point, or drop point.

that JK Ti Folder #1 looks awesome, i'm green over that one, think i remember reading your review of it.

the clip point friction folder sounds interesting to.

I still have this bizzare idea for a titanium handle friction folder. Kind of a tactical model, call it the JKTTFF. (JK Titanium Tactical Friction Folder)

KYenglish · Dec 18, 2011

Sounds interesting to me, any sketches?

Better, a micarta prototype. 4 1/2" handle, 3 1/2" blade. Picture it in titanium and steel.

JK Knives · Dec 18, 2011

I could do these in any size up to 5 1/2" handle / 4 1/2" blade.

KYenglish · Dec 18, 2011

on the large size for a folder for me, but it looks sweet, liike the point on the blade shape to, what held you back?

machine26 · Dec 18, 2011

A titanium friction folder with the handle profile as your standard size framelock and a clip point blade would be pretty neat.

Folders?
