My First Folder, a Balisong

[Jon Walker]

This is the first folding knife I have made. It is a 1080 and titanium balisong. Dave Lisch helped me out with heat treating, thanks Dave!

It isn't the best looking knife ever but I made it and it works.

Your welcome Jon its good to see you got it done as I know you do not get much time to work on knives.

Thanks again for helping out Dave! I really want an induction forge now

Nice work man!

Is titanium hard to cut and drill?
How much are you looking at for an induction forge?

 

[Jon Walker]

I had no trouble drilling it with new sharp bits. I didn't cut it so I wouldn't know. I do know that you can friction cut titanium with very little trouble but it is hard on the saw blade.
