Hi, everybody!
I represent the second folding knife for discussion!
Knife of my design and production.
Steel: ELMAX (61 hrs) on a blade 3.8х29х94. It is reduced at 0.4-0.5 millimeter
Handle: 13.7х130х27 Titan, g-10. A clip - the titan. Plugs - the titan. Bonki is the titan.
On bronze washers.
Weight - 122 grams.

Nice looking piece.

Are you worried about the blade steel prematurely wearing out the "Bonki" (stop pin for the rest of us)?
The steel is likely to be quite a bit harder the Ti, so what is the Bonki expected lifespan?
 
stop pin 440c
Bonki ... I do not even know how it in English!)))

I apologize:)
 
Ahh, that would be a "Stand-off". Each of the spacers that have a barrel shape would often be labeled as a "stand off" or "stand-off".

Thanks for the update on the stop pin. Nice looking piece.
 
That is a very unique knife and I say that as a compliment.

The only criticism I can offer without holding it is that it appears to be awkward to open.

I like how slim it is, and the blade grind is very interesting. I really like the hidden-screw pocket clip, and I like that the framelock side only has one visible screwhead - very clean. I would love to see this without the anodization on the titanium! A nice stonewash or a milled design would make this knife look very refined.
 
I would like to add that I have been looking at this quite a bit and I like how long the tip/belly transition is to the flat.
As a meat cutter, I Love a knife that has a long belly for draw cuts.
Though I do have to say I would love to see this in a high hardness, high carbide PM alloy, m390/cpm-20cv or even CruWear.
 
The knife isn't exactly my style, but overall I like the shape 👍
My only critique would be the gimping, I find the best to be very fine shallow gimping that grips your thumb because you don't have to or can't dig in for it to grip and only takes light pressure.
 
Thanks to all for comments!
I will surely consider all proposed solutions in the following works!
 
I like it, a lot. Enough to ask, if it were for sale, what would you consider a decent price for it?

Thanks for interest in my work!
I make folding knives quite recently. And it is difficult for me to judge pricing.
How many usually cost such knives? I will be grateful for such information!

I didn't work with CruWear steel yet. Elmax qualitative steel for knives! This steel is for me in the same row with m390, s30v and s35vn
 
Great looking knife! I am loving the pattern of the anodizing, haven't seen that pattern before and it is something to look at. You have a winner here!
 
Was it torched to color or electrical anodizing?

If I am not mistaken, though, anodizing is the colloquial term but not the actual proper term, because I thought anodizing requires a base material that is electroplated onto, but hey I'm not an engineer.
