Jewel (of Denial!)

Jewel of Denial
A detent folder I made to defeat the possibility of OHO pocketknives being restricted by laws here in the UK, hence the wordplay in the naming!
It has a 5,7mm or 2 1/4 inch blade at HRC62, Titanium liners and some epoxy scales I made that are backed with G10
Weight is 44g or 1.5 ounces
BESS sharpness is between 155 and 200g

I made a little die for the leatherwork maker's mark, that I used to press the mark into the leather

Thanks for looking, comments and questions welcome, Ig

Sweet, I like the minimalist look, pretty & unique scales plus the mirror polish. Is your detent system like Terzuola's?

Thank you! I am going to look a bit uneducated here, apologies. I am not sure what Terzuola uses. I cut a small lever spring in the liner and press-fit a hardened ball bearing into it. I cut a small recess into the underside of the scale to accommodate its proudness as it moves in and out during the travel. Ig

Thank you. it is epoxy resins I put into some aluminium honeycomb. It needs to be fixed firmly onto suitable backing otherwise it can be fragile.

sweet little jewel!

Thank you v much.
