Rice Beater Frame lock with Gene Ingram D2 blade

[STR]

I originally made this for myself but have not carried it for a good while. Since my computer died during a thunderstorm frying my power supply and my modem I've overspent by a few this month so I need to raise some cash.

This knife is a hand made custom folder body by me. It sports green anodized titanium on both the lock and non lock side only the lock is .103 thick and the non lock side is .070 with a scale of bead blasted green canvas micarta over that. This is a 4" long closed, 6.75" OAL folder sporting one of two D2 blades made for me by Gene Ingram just to turn into a folder. I may regret letting it go later because this is a pretty nice "little big knife". Its a stout fellow and the first frame lock I ever made. Last pic is the way Gene sent the blades to me. I reworked them into a frame lock style folder working with Gene who consented to make up two blades for me after recieving my drawing of what I wanted. To my knowledge this is one of only three folders on the planet sporting one of Genes fine D2 blades, the third being one he did for a friend of mine in Florida.

Steve,

How thick is the blade?

Do you have a closed picture?

Thanks,

The blade D2 in 1/8" thick stock. Gene said its hardened to around 61Rc.

It keeps an edge well.

This is a nice little big knife that comes completely apart for cleaning if need be. I would not hesitate to use this for field dressing or skinning. It was carried some but I've never quite taken to it the way I have others I've been carrying.

Even still, I did withdraw it from the for sale forum on another forum today but since you got in before I did so here I'll still sell it if you want it. If you say no though I no longer need to sell it since I sold two others that got me the money I needed to pay off my MasterCard bill this month.

But if you do want it snag it now cuz I probably won't offer it again if you back out.

Steve,

I understand why you withdrew it and don't blame you at all for keeping this one. Looks like it would be really handy.

Thanks anyway,

David
