Koster Folder!!!

[cool_hand_luke]

Yeah, I'm ready for it!

What do you think Dan?

* Blade material: BG42

* A thick slab of blaze orange G10 on one side

* Titanium on the framelocked side (of course framelock, why bother with anything else? )

* spearpoint bladeshape, with a very robust tip

* blade hole, no thumbstuds

* buttery smooth action

* Lanyard hole

When can I place my order?

Sounds great!!!





I'll get Bob right on it...

Seriously, I do plan on doing a folder....just keep getting pulled away by other projects...:foot:

 

[WTF]

A Nessmuk folder! Cool.

I always thought that the DH Russell folder looked like a folding Nessmuk. http://www.grohmannknives.com/pages/r300s.html

Hope it was ok to put that link in. If not, please remove and I apologize. I am spoiled by some of the anything goes foru.

[Daniel Koster]

cool...never seen that one before. :thumbup:

Any pics of it closed?

 

[WA Martin]

No, no...friction folder Nessmuck. (Just don't whack-a-log with it!)

 

[Fiddleback]

I dunno Dan, folders are tough work. Only the good makers can do those...


LOL.

 

[tknife]

If you do a folder, please oh please do a carbon steel one!

 

[mmmotorcycle]

yes, carbon steel for us outdoorsy folks! Scandi-ground too please!!! :thumbup:

Andy, that sounds like a Rick Hinderer XM-18.

Andy, that sounds like a Rick Hinderer XM-18.

That's actually the inspiration! I'd love to see Dan's take on it. His fixed-blade designs look awesome, so I bet a Koster Folder would rock!

[Daniel Koster]

well...I do have several design already worked up in CAD....just need to pick up some mad skillz in the folder dept first...:foot:

 

[Gerberblades]

Yeah Dan, "Bring It"!!

 

[Fiddleback]

Well, I was just ribbing you. I'm sure you've got Da Skillz.

 

[Daniel Koster]

Skillz can only take me and my chunky fingers so far with the little stuff....

It looks more like a folding Canadian belt knife to me. Nice looking.

Bob is a very nice looking tortise. Is he yours, or the product of Google Images?

If your fingers are too chunky, then you'll just have to put the little ones to work. Family business and all.

 

[Daniel Koster]

Google Images?

:thumbup:

 

[Daniel Koster]

If I do a folder....it is going to be one of two ideas I've got going...


1 - slim, easy to carry/conceal, slicer


2 - heavy-duty, beefy, large (4"+ blade) and indestructible



And I'm only interested in frame-lock or thick-liner-lock flippers.

I've been through a number of designs...and the above appeals to me most.



Ideally, #1 would be like my bushcraft in principle....and #2 like my 3V Nessmuks...

I prefer option #2, but I wouldn't mind seeing the first option. Poll time!!
