fell in love with architecture during my studies in furniture making (previous profession). i loved the simplicity of how a keystone permitted a leap forward in the development of buildings. so i decided to honor the invention of the keystone.

OAL 8 7/8 inches
blade is 1/8ths 10v 3 3/4 long
.090 ti liners
tan g10 scales
custom clip
bronze washers
stop pin is in the blade

this was also my first go at a thumb disk. i shaped the disk and pocket clip in the shape of a keystone to continue with the over all theme.... in the end, she has the feel of gents folder more than anything else.

thanks for looking!
 
Minimalist look - I like it. Has a Scandinavian look to it.
 
Elegance is always simple, fantastic job. The architecture influences really show through in this, well done.
 
Love how you have implemented the stop pin. Very unique, very effective. Awesome knife :thumbup:
 
Peter,
I know I commented in the other place, but I can't stop looking at this one! I really like this model, I think it's my favorite of everything you've done. Really nice brother!!
 
its funny how things work, i designed this one alot faster than it usually takes me to design a knife, and it ended up being one of the nicest. i really like this one too. im going to make a few similar ones continuing the theme and tweaking it a bit.
 
I'm not a folder guy but this is simply elegant
 
NICE! this thing is elegant. it also looks fast.
i even like the flipper and i usually hate those spine flippers.
I want one.
