Hello guys hope you will like my latest effort.
I was thinking in something compact yet strong and affordable.
Maybe it is a samml bit heavy for a folder but it is a good mate.

This knife has been made without any use of grinder...(i'm waiting Aly for it's great grinder) only files and sandpaper!

Blade is 8cm (6,8cm sharp) 6,7mm thick W1 taken from an old file.
Mirror finished and rounded allover.
17cm overall, opened: Sporting a bottle opener so this knife is ready to cut a steak and open a beer in the same time.

Handle scales are in Black G10. Stainless steel pivots, teflon washers, G10 spacer.

Hope you will like it.
 
I agree, very neat design and very useful......it's hard to imagine how much time you've got in that just using the very basic of hand tools.
 
Nice one, it proofs one doesn't need fancy machines

Thanks a lot.
It needs only elbow grease, patience, and design in mind.
A good music on the radio plus the will to do something comfortable and usable
:D


Cheers!
