Paul, are your pieces posted publicly somewhere like Imgur or Photobucket? As this thread deservedly grows its getting more difficult to browse your designs.
Beautiful work there, I love the ivory handles. Your blade shape is amazing. Crisp lines and I love the stout shape of the blade. I would love to see you make one just like this with a curved back swedge like a clip point. Very sexy design.
Just something I would like to see in traditional knives,,,
~it seems to me,, that for all the effort put into filing and grinding out a custom traditional knife,,,
the liners on the traditional are THIN* and the pivot peen could definitely be a screw that is flush with the bolsters.
I would love to see you try to make a traditional knife with liners three times as thick as usual; as to make the traditional knife integral and robust, I would love to see a milling vice and press used to create the room for handle scales/material.
I would love to see a Philips style pivot screw on your lockbacks, or slip joint with a Philips style pivot screw.
This knife would look amazing with an alligator sheath,,, Croc is much to expensive,,,
Remember~ If your knives are durable and will hold up to much use and abuse, you will end up selling more in the long run.
I would very much like to see you try making a knife like this, with a clip point and lanyard pin hole. I bet you could sell it/them for twice as much money, and many people would buy them.
All the best,,,

- go on to Instagram, then search for masonknives
If you don't know how to do it, ask a twelve year old kid, I do![]()

Lordy lordy, first Imgur and now Instagram. What I won't do for this beautiful obsession. :beguiled:
- err, Nicholas.....have you been drinking, sir![]()
Think you'll find Paul tries to follow in the illustrious footsteps of Tony Bose - ask the same questions to him....!
Your suggestions are fine I'm sure, but perhaps they wander off the path of "Traditional folders...."
