Titanium framelock flipper (pics).

[jbblount]

My first flipper. Finished it a few minutes ago.

Blade is 440C
The lock side is 1/8" sandblasted Titanium.
Other side is sandblasted black linen micarta on top of a titanium liner.

Looks great. Overall shape reminds me a lot of a Todd Begg Glimpse.

Very nice. How's the action?

Thanks. Well you caught me . For my first one I wanted to go with a design I knew worked. And I liked the looks and shape of the glimpse so I drew something real close to it. Not sure if that's frowned on around here or not?

Oh yea I forgot to mention I used micro bearings kinda like IKBS. Maybe I should post a picture of that.

It's quick and locks up nice.

Thanks Brad.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. It has similar lines to a Glimpse but is different enough to where it's unique to you. I'd say you have nothing to worry about. Nice job on the bearings. Any vids of the action?
