Not trying to start any arguments, that folder is really nice looking - but are you sure that's a Matt Bailey folder? It doesn't bear his mark (that I can see) and AFAIK he only forges fixed blade knives. I don't think he works with CPM steels, either. I have one of his blades and it's just wonderful....but, and I say this with all due respect - I don't believe that's a folder made by Matt Bailey, unless it's a different Matt than the one that made this:

I love the look of his knives. According to his facebook page he is definitely making folders. That one is awesome.

It's a Matt Bailey alright. He forgot to put his makers mark on this one before he shipped it to me, but said he would do so if desired.
I can't believe you doubted me granitestateofmind's. And I'm a fellow New Hampshirite no less. LOL!
 
Hey, I don't do the FB thing....sorry! Good to know he's branching out. Now if only I had the scratch to purchase it! He makes some phenomenal stuff for sure. Where in NH you at? We have a Beckerhead Gathering coming up in May (near Bristol); fun time and all (most) are welcome. I travel the state for work; I'd love to check that out in person.....maybe part with some emergency funds I've been saving.....you can pm or email me if you're amenable.
