Here's the second of two designs that I've been working on.

It's a larger-sized folder (3.75" blade) , with a framelock and integral bolsters with a scale on the presentation side. Has influences from most of the major tactical makers, old and new. Hopefully I haven't stepped on any toes -- this is a big concern to me. If I have, it's purely unconscious and I apologize.

I did the design work, and Reese Weiland did the realization and execution. I'd like to thank Reese here for taking the time and effort to work with me on this project. He's been wonderful to develop and just shoot the breeze with.

Please let me know what you think, if you have any questions, and/or if you'd like the design philosophy behind it. Honest opinions are very much desired.

Also, I'm trying to get a small semi-production/mid-tech run of these done up, if there's enough interest, so please email me if you like it and would be interested in one.

Thank you.

Hi Jon.

I just got finished designing my first folder, so I have some idea how satisfying and challenging it can be.

It's a little too tactically-oriented for something I'd like to carry, but it is really well put-together. I can appreciate that scallop, and the blade shape is really nice. Congratulations on putting your work into steel.
