This was a fun build inspired by a request for a large folding chef knife. I expanded the concept a bit to also suit the needs of someone who might be hired as a cook in an outfitter/elk camp or as a deer camp or camping kitchen/general utility knife. A person in such a role may need to do a fair bit of food prep while still being robust enough to handle other chores around camp.
This is not intended to be a pure daily chef's knife but rather an acceptable substitute that can do that and other tasks in a convenient, pocketable package.
Prototype "Camp Cook" folder. 4" cleaver/cutlass style blade of 1084/15n20 "River of No Return" pattern Damascus. Rounded spine with flipper tab and fileworked thumb grip. Fileworked tang. Black g-10 scales. Single jeweled titanium lock/liner. Blue anodized titanium pivot and body screws. Black g-10 fileworked backspacer. Black steel deep carry pocket clip. 5 1/8" closed.
It can be opened easily by a variety of methods: two handed pull grasping the blade, slow rolled with thumb/forefinger, or front-flipped easily with the extended flipper tab.
This is a very slim and light knife. It weighs only 3.8 ounces and measures only 1/2" thick. It carries very well for a large folder.
Here's a link to a video where I did some cutting examples with this knife prior to cleaning it up and making it pretty. Feel free to make fun of my cutting "skills"....especially the potato.

Here are pics in natural outdoor light that show the true colors, especially of the anodizing better.
Price is $750 and includes padded zipper case, microfiber cloth, certificate of authenticity and free US shipping. Questions and comments welcome.
