New Folder Model...The Mongoose

BARRY JONES · Mar 23, 2001

Here is a scan of my first framelock folder.

The Specs:
blade length 3-9/16"
length open 8-7/16"
length closed 4-7/8"
blade steel 1/8" ATS-34
frame .090 Titanium
overlays .080 carbon fiber
has ambidextrious thumb stud which acts as the stop in both the open and closed positions

Knives do not have pocket clips. I may have to make custom ones for them.

Nice one, Barry! I like the recessed scales. Do we get to see the back side too??

BARRY JONES · Mar 23, 2001

Summerland,

Thanks. Right now the back side looks just like the front side. I am going to have to fabricate a pocket clip to fit this particular knife. I designed the folder and never once thought about how I would attach a pocket clip that would have no interference from any of the screws holding the thing together.

It's a start though.

Great Looking Knife!

Keith Montgomery · Mar 24, 2001

I really like this knife Barry. It has great lines and the grind lines are excellent. Don't worry about the clip, it should not be that hard to figure out a way to put one on. IMO it is way more than a good start.

Barry,

Nice knife!

Does it really "need" a clip? I know that I am not the only BFC member with a small box full of unused clips... Maybe you might give the buyer the choice....

Looking good...does a Ferret need a Mongoose? Hmmm

BARRY JONES · Mar 27, 2001

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the compliments.

I still have to go and do some more fine tuning of the folders. I want them to be "just right". As for the clip, I will leave that up to the buyer.

Anyone who wants the price can email me and I will fill them in. I don't think it is rigth to post prices unless it is in the For Sale forum.

Here is a shot of the back side of the knife.
