Titanium Frame lock WIP and introduction

I have the utmost respect for someone that can produce folders at such a high level of fit and finish. I would really like to have one of these but funds are limited to supplies for the knives I'm currently making. Dang it!!
 
Pocket Clips are looking fantastic!!! BTW, the edges on these beasts are insanely sharp!!!!
 
thank you for all your kind comments, i really appreciate it!

i orange peeled Ti frames and clip..here's some pics:

Hi Dalibor

Still looking great but I think I prefer the stone washed myself.

The clip also is a very interesting design, much better than your 1st prototypes, but for people like me who prefer not to use clips all the time will you supply a screw to fit the clip hole and a shorter screw for the frame hole?
 
Wow! Looking great! Your orange peel looks slick. I think the "War Horse" has a cousin :D both ready to attack a tank! ;)
 
Lookin' Good, Dabilor. I think the orange peel looks cool too. The OP should make the knife easier to hold too.
 
i did it using wire cup brushes at high speed, i always polish Ti before any surface treatment for better result..

I'm really liking the .200 Ti on the frame. I think the .200 and .160 versions are a nice mix. The .160 makes the blade look thicker. Both are awesome!
 
I know most of us looking for a HD ti folder would like to have either the .160 or the .200, we probably wouldn't care.
 
after HT , i polish the blade , than i dunk it in ferric chloride for 3~5mins and than stone wash it.
it's the Jake Hoback finish :D
 
ok, today i finished one..just need to etch it and put the final edge tomorrow and that's it..
here's a few pics:
sorry for the quality i use my cell phone..
