Hi all,

Just finished for these knives. Hard and Mini Hard series.
For blades I got inspiration from Thai native blade.
It's called CHAITHONG

Those are fabulous!!! One of these days I'm going to acquire one of your folders as I really love the designs.
 
wow! the new blade shapes are awesome! they seem more traditional to me, which is a plus, but still have a unique flair.

I also really like those native Thai knives, very cool peices, are they yours?

What are the specs on these knives? specifically what is the handle material on the larger one?
 
Thanks all guys for all kind words.:) and sorry to forget about specs.

ฺWoow!!! Your works are going better and better :thumbup::thumbup:
Eventually we now have modern Thai folders :p
Cheers,
Ek :)
 
Yun, I really love your folders. Can you make it soo there is more sharpened edge by eliminating the the finger coil on the blade?? 4 1/2 inch handle should be large enough for most hands in the small folder!
