Liner locks...

[Salem Straub]

Here’s a folder I finished up last night. It’s a D2 blade, with titanium liners and desert ironwood burl scales.
It feels nice and light in the hand, with an easy flip out and good solid lockup. I’m showing it with another I finished last week, same pattern different treatment.

Check it out!

Good lookin stuff. I like that handle shape. Little different but looks like it would be comfy.

I like it. I like the sloping plunge lines and the thick liners. The blade shape looks natural and appealing.

Pocket clip?

Do you have any pictures from the side when the knife is closed?

Good looking knives! Would you consider posting pictures of how you make them sometime? I have been thinking about making a folder and would really like some pictures to go by. I'm curious about how you bend the titanium for the liner lock and what type of screws to use for everything.

Looking good! I like everything about it.

Thanks guys. Nullity, no pocket clips on these. Mainly just for fifth pocket carry. I'd have to put a flat spot for the mounting surface on the back side scale, or use standoffs for the wood handle. Pretty curvy scale surfaces.

Thurmanator,
