Finally got a couple finished and shipped. Specs are in the pic, BTW the pic is the certificate my wife does up for every knife I send out the door.

Thanks for looking,

Wow, that is incredible. Amazing job, I really like this knife! It looks like everything I want in a folder, and beautifully done. Do you have a website?

My website is jlwilliamsknives.com It is still under construction not very up to date.

Thanks for your interest,

I like the looks of this knife. A question though; is there a utilitarian purpose for the cutout on the bolster or is it for aesthetics only?

Hey Keith,

I believe that's where one would engage the "rhino flipper", I'm guessing that the knife tang protrudes from that point when in the closed position. Once again, this is only a guess. If this is how it does work, it's pretty clever!

Yes, the cut-out is where you engage the flipper (blade tang). I'll replace this pic with a much more detailed one as soon as my wife gets done with it.

Thanks for looking,

I like it alot,nice and big.

What thickness of liners are you using?Thanks.

belia1250 · Oct 19, 2003

It should probably have been added to the certificate, but wasn't. The frame is .096 thick and the blade is .180 thick. Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Lee
