thank you
 
I am personally not crazy about the blade shape. I would like less curve on the top of the blade. BUT, I am sure that there are people that will love that! I love how the titanium handle scales are contured; it looks like it would just melt into your hand. Were you going for a Chinese theme here? That is what the leaf shape blade reminds me of. I DO love the size. That will a most excellent EDC when you are done with it.
 
Nice knife. I love the blade shape. Did you have to spring-temper the frame lock(can you even spring temper titanium?)?
 
So what kind of coloring and carving are you planning? I can't wait to see what you do next to it!! Oooooh, and you are doing more contouring. I just can't wait!!
 
I like it, would like to see a little less "bump" at the top of the knife but thats me. It looks somewhat like a leaf blade to me. Overall though it looks like an interesting knife and is definatley original, cant wait to see it done.
 
thanks for the replies.

nope.

"Looks good. Think the flipper (part that extends to flip it)is not too big??"

yes but it leaves me room to sculpt it.
or i may trim it.not sure yet.

"So what kind of coloring and carving are you planning? I can't wait to see what you do next to it!! Oooooh, and you are doing more contouring. I just can't wait!!"

not sure on the the coloring and carving but i will
be doing deep contouring.

thank you. i like that description of leaf blade.
i will use that in my description on my sight.

"I love it! There is a LOT of blade in that tiny handle "

I know:) thats what i was going for:D
 
new pics added
same blade but diferent handel due to poor lock up. i will make a new blade for the first handel
and not set the lock up when on my pain meds :eek: :)
 
I like what you did with the handle. I also like that you carried your carving over to the flipper too. Sweet!
