Looks like a great utility blade. Your tastes seem to have gone to the bigger the blade the better. If you made the same design in a 3.25 " blade and 7.25 over all, I'll take it. Oh yeah, it would be nice with tip up and lanyard hole, one can dream right?
 
thanks woody,

i had made this no clip and no lanyard hole because that how i like my knives. i like it when they sit in the bottom of my pockets...i think lots of guys like that also....could be wrong though.

i have a 3.25 inch blade linerlock of the same knife. as i was making it i scrapped the blade. frame is still purdy same cf scales but smooth. ill have to redo a blade in the next batch. i may even put a lanyard hole and a clip......you never know ;)
 
Hello,

I see a spyderco collaboration in the making! Seriously its gorgeous!

Great blade,

Chris
 
I think that's the nicest one yet.:)
I'd prefer with a clip as that's how I carry, but very, very nice.
 
Great looking knife! I only carry my traditionals deep in the pocket. Love that knife especially if it had a deep carry clip. Just a personal preference, not enough not to want it though!

Very nice. It reminds me of an oversized Spyderco Kiwi. Collaboration with Spyderco and call it a Condor.
 
funny you mention that. after i finished the knife i was flipping it open and said the same thing "wow looks like a monster kiwi" i had a kiwi once and found the only flaw was its size (for me) subconsciously i must have filtered that into the design.

its amazing how you cant escape incorporating the things you see into the things you make.....
 
Nice work. I love the large folders.

Do you ever use CPM 3V or 10V or make reverse tanto blades? I like CPM 3V since I can sharpen it to a crazy sharp edge (as compared to other steels) and I think 10V should be the same...with better edge retention.
 
Well Peter if you come up with those specs, I could always use another of your blades.
 
s90v has better edge retention than either of those 2 steels. and its stainless. 3v is valuable in tough use knives like choppers and swords. on a folder you have the luxury of using a less tough steel with better edge retention , as you wont be chopping with it.
 
how does the licensing go on that opening hole? did you have a bit of a chat with spyderco and send a little money their way, or do they only have rights to the round hole?
 
Very nice execution of the hole, handle, scale... everything :)

I'm glad I'm on your list for a folder :)
