WIP pics added to post 9

This was an order from Jody that arrived a few days ago. Well worth the wait!

3 1/2 forged 1075 blade at 3/16, W1 thumb stud with hammered pin. Blasted Ti scales, backspacer and clip. Blue Ti liners and stag scales.

Jody provided pics of the build and I will post a WIP thread soon.

Thanks again Jody!

I like the grittiness of this knife. Has the feel of a forge about it.
 
I like this knife in its sterile goodness. Jody usually has quite a bit of engraving going on. Because.... that's what his clients want. :D

Solid!

I had asked Jody to build a similar folder to his design that won best tactical in Chicago in 2006. I really liked the flow of the handle and bolster design.

Jody makes the clip to match the long bolsters with minimal overlap of the scale at my request:
