Been working at these past few days. Got to get some more blades to put them on.
This Alumilite stuff works like a dream. Going to see if I have a good piece of mammoth to do one as I have found a source for Bronze ends.

Here are a few that I did for myself, lightning strike Micarta, brown linen Micarta with glow sticks and black canvas Micarta. Instead of using the clip on a folder, like to use a lanyard with a large bead. I let the bead hang outside my pocket to hang the folder vertically in my pocket. Also, people just think it is for a set of keys instead of a knife.

Very cool. I need to try some micarta.

It is relatively easy to shape and sand, I use my metal lathe. It is hard to find in the round form, but you can make short rounds with a hole saw. Let me know if you want to try some black canvas, I have a lot of it. It is all in square or rectangular shapes, but like I said, you can use a hole saw and get rounds, then use the 1/4 hole from the hole saw to mount on a 1/4 bolt to spin it for shaping or sanding.
