Just finished this today and I'd like an honest critique of everything. Design, materials, finish, etc. I like posting stuff here because you guys have a more discerning eye than the average joe.

For your consideration:

Drop point D2 3/32 stock 3" in length
.050" Titanium liners with hidden back spacer screws (#0-80's)
2x2 blue/black g10
aluminum back spacer
1/8" overtravel pin with 3/32 shoulders pressed into liners
handle length 3 7/8"
weight: 1.9 ounces






And i tried to get a good picture of the plunge lines.


thanks, Leif

Very clean design, I like it. I'm not usually big on friction folders, but this is definitely something different.
 
I like it, it reminds me of Burnley's Kwaiken design, which I also like. Clean, simple, pleasing look to it.
 
Very nice, I love the G10 and the general handle geometry. Beautiful work, sir!
 
I'm lazy, camera needs the date reset on it.

I forgot to add weight to the specs. 1.9 ounces.

Evilgreg I love Burnleys Kwaiken for its clean simplicity too.

Thank you.
 
I could never see myself carrying a friction folder, but I think this one would actually make it into my pocket if I had it. I like how the opener isn't too big, and it's a pretty classy looking design.

Is the tang long enough?

It is. I can flick it open one handed, no problem. I didnt want it getting caught on stuff when closed so i made it as small as possible without interfering with its functionality.

Thank you to everyone also. I really do appreciate everyones opinions here, because you guys probably love knives just as much as i do. Leif
 
ok, good!
When I had a Svord Peasant folder, I then realized that the longer tang was designed like that for good reasons.
Make another one, Leif.

I love the shorter tang design. It would make it more pocket friendly! Maybe you can try rounding it off a bit too.
