Nice folder. I don't understand how the swingaurd works. Filework is cool on this.
 
I've owned a couple of Case Cheetas over the years. I really like swing guard folders. This one is really classy. In my opinion you have combined materials very nicely. I like the overall shape, and the way you ground the blade.
 
I love that. I have always liked swinguard folders and that is one of the nicer ones i've seen.

Thanks for posting it.

Hello Chuck,

Lovely folder! I have been following your posts ever since we met in
"The Art of Modern Custom Knifemaking".

Of the many designs you tried out over the past couple of years (quite
successfully too), I like this one the most.... Nice combination of the
Damascus patterns with the beautiful pearl!

Have you left making Balisongs completely?

All the Best,

Hello David,
I thank you and everyone else for their kind words. I have not stopped making balisongs, but the market seems to have slowed quite a bit. I will get the itch to make another one one of these days.
Regards,
Chuck
