Just finished.....

Blade: 3/16 ATS-34
Liners: .90" 6AL4V TI
Latch: 6AL4V TI
Overlays: Black G-10
IKBS Powered!!

I've always admired Charles Marlowes weehawks.., the way he grinds in the swedge just looks downright awsome. after some practice i think i'm getting it down. (imo) it add's a very classy sleek look the the knife.

Blade ground on 2" and 3" contact wheel's. completely hidden hardware,but is fully adjustable when overlays are removed.this is a scaled down size with OAL of 8.8" and 3.6" cutting edge. great edc or flipper size. i find the overlays give wicked grip and always feel warm in the hand. i got a set of orders coming up for something similar so i thaught i'd make one up first!

Photo's cant do this one justice. i tried but this is best pics i can get.anywho, have a look!

Shawn that is sweet. Great work. Is this significantly lighter with the g-10 versus the stainless?.....comparable to the TI?

How could you not be proud of any of your work? Your balis are probably the best I've seen! Great work, man.
 
Being a fixed-blade kinda guy, I don't know much about folders or bali's. But I like to think I can recognize quality when I see it... and I'm seeing it here. That's just stunning. :thumbup:
 
Thank you, guys :)

Shayghnessy: i rarely use stainless. but yes, with .90" TI liners and g-10 overlays the knife is far lighter but stronger then SS. i like using the beefy liners in titanium. weighs nothing but is super strong!!
 
Very well done. Yup, I would say you are getting it down well. :D.
 
Nice :thumbup:

especially like section where the two hollow grinds meet.

Not easy. At all.

I live in Oz, so cant own it, but a man can dream no?.

Nice work.

:)
