JBS folding skinner....almost.

[JBS TOOLMAKER]

This started out as a proto for a folder version of my Backstrapper skinner. Several local guys are up for a pass around this deer season.
I think this one turned out a bit too pretty for a working class skinner....so I'm gonna EDC it for a while.
Overall length 7 1/2" blade length 3 1/8" blade width 1 1/4" thickness .156" Blade steel and backspacer are D-2, Ti liners and clip, orange/black G-10 scales.

I always said I would be a non-folder guy, Baaawaaaahaaaahaaa....when you here the click of that lock that you mated by hand it's truly addictive.

That is one great looking folder. Nicely done.

Dang, that's just about my perfect folder.
Stop raising the bar so fast, you guys, I'm trying to catch up!

I believe you bro! Maybe someday. I guarantee it would be hard to even come close to that one though.

JBS, lovely knife, really lovely!! Did you etch the D2 to get that effect?

 

[JBS TOOLMAKER]

Yeah, I cote the important areas..pivot hole, lockface , bearing and detent race with clear fingernail polish. Then etch in straight Ferric for 10 minutes, neutralize, clean then to the tumbler.
