First glance at the first pic, I thought I was looking at a fixed blade, then the sentence "BTW this is a folder!!" caught my eye, that's when I noticed the pivot pin, and then glanced downwards to the second and third pictures.
Basically, I absolutely love it! The idea of having a traditional Japanese styled folder, is a notion which really excites me, and I must say, that it turned out extremely well. The intricate filework on the spine is sweet!
I really do like the design, and for my personal tastes, I would like a more traditional appearance, rendering it similar to a traditional Japanese katana, or also a tanto, only a folder. That in my opinion, would be awesome, a "folding pocket katana/tanto", with a traditional clay tempered hamon. A tanto grind would suit it very well, but a hamon would just make it even more stunning, IMO.

Overall, it is an excellent knife, both in terms of design, and workmanship, and I would love to see this idea continue to evolve.
