New folks - Introducing the JK Ti Frame-Lock!

[mqqn]

Hi folks -

Many of you new JK Fanatics never were privy to the frame-locks that John was making for a short while.

I feel somewhat responsible, as I was always wanting a JK folder - And finally Mr. K made some -

I am lucky to have the first production JK Ti Frame-lock Folding Scout -

This baby is stout with a capital STOUT! I have used this knife for light chopping (making a rustic fishing pole for instance) and it has excelled at all I have thrown at it.

John even made a Ti clip for this knife - his first as I recall -

The centering and fit and finish were (and still are) superb -

I have some very nice custom and higher-end knives, and I put my JK #1 Ti Frame-Lock up against any of them. Does it look out of place in this group?? I think Not!

Yea - I have to take everything apart - it's the mechanic in me - but the JK is all quality.....

Of course I put it to work on a filet roll - if my knives can't do this, they don't stay with me long.

No problem for the heat-treat brother of the viKtim!

Works great as a gentleman's steak knife at the table, too!

Later with my brandy-peppercorn filets.

Kirill was there using the JK Kitchen Knife that the Boss designed - that's another review ;^)

And with Mr. Sogetsu's handmade paracord lanyard, which is with ole' Number 1 to this day....

I asked Mr. K to round the spine, as I do on all of my knives now - I just think this adds class (and I use the sharp edge on firesteels if necessary)

I have been carrying this baby some lately - still love the knife and I feel like I could chop a fridge in half with it - it's that solid.

Thanks John - I still love that you made these and I hope you make more someday soon!

Damn you mqqqn!

And for so many reasons! you own it, you were here when they were made (i'm surprised I haven't worn your pictures out the number of times I've looked at them since discovering JK's) and then you post a new thread with this title - I literaly jumped out of my chair and tapped my finegrs on the table willing the page to load faster (in a hotel room full of one sleeping and sick wife, one sleeping cranky baby, a sleeoing and cranky son and next door to a just plain cranky mother in law i might add)- only to find it's more pictures and another great review not the shocking anoncment that more are being made or that you, having lost all sense of reason - are selling it.

If these get made again I don't care if I'm hangining upside down over a crocidile filled lake while a demon flays me with a cat an nine tails from the sore line someone better let me know about it. Dang, I'd sell every folder I've ever owned to get one. Arrgghhhh!

Modifier: I know this is a crazy rant and I do not really damn mqqn D) an over reaction? maybe , but I have not yet acomplished the goal I got into this crazy obsession for in the first place, a folder to call my own in that special way. Ah well, let the search continue.

Great pictures at any rate, that rounded spine does look nice and I think I could eat that steak from here

Hi KYe -

Sorry to hear your wife is sick - that is never good when travelling.

I just wanted to post about the knife again since I have had it out and have been using it since the last Gathering.

I think John might make more some day - that is my thinking and not necessarily his.

I think John still has one or two of these in his possession.

Here is a link to all of my JK knife pictures (and no worries - I know you did not REALLY damn me lol )

I hope your trip smooths out for you. ;^)

I don't know what is making me drool. The folder or the steak. Hmmmm, I just had lunch so it must be the knife.
You're a lucky dog Andy.

Very nice. I bet it becomes a trusted tool for years to come!

 

[sisk61]

Now that is AWESOME!!! Goodness i have to have one now!

 

[grunt soldier]

John emailed me when he had a scandi version for sale and I just couldn't swing it at the time but I kick myself everyday for passing it up lol. I have always wanted a scandi ti frame lock and it would have been icing for it to be a JK. you got a sweet blade there brother.
