fully integral folder!

I get the feeling that this one is going to be out of my range.




Would anyone like to buy a kidney in 'fair' condition?
:D
 
This is really, really amazing. How long did it take you from drawing table to finished product?
That is truly one of the most beautiful knives in many aspects that I've ever seen.
 
Drawing a knife takes me about 45 minutes for the conception ( if the inspiration is at hand). Then another hour to get the function all dialed in ( ie moving the pivot and stuff so it looks good closed and open.

Then i make a working g10 proto. If it works and feels good in hand i start the real work.

A regular folder takes about 8-10 hors of labor. Fancier stuff with bolsters and stuff can take longer. An integral is a bitch. The kind of bitch that cleans you out and takes the dog in the divorce.

Sooooooo much sanding and fitting. But well worth the extra time.
