My First Folder Success

[raylaconico]

This is my second attempt at a slipjoint folder. The first one didn't come out right.. This one has a nice snap when opened and closed which got me really excited. The blade and backspring is 1084, handle is micarta, and hardware is brass. any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nice work! I really like it

Thanks guys. I am proud. Especially when I first assembled it and tested the action and it worked. It's not a great folder but it works well and looks good. I can already see many areas where I need to improve when I make my next one. I enjoyed making this folder. It is more challenging than fixed blades but goes by much quicker. I finished this yesterday from start to finish. I thought that was fast considering I'm new to folders!
