I wear a heavy canvass smock and a powered respirator with an high impact face shield. Been hit a few times by flying debris, just hafta know when to duck.

Me: Gimme a sec....

I've been known to do a little gunsmithing on occasion. Replaced this crappy black plastic factory pistol sight with a high vis g-10 one.

Welcome Simon, you might be better off looking over at some of the makers that do folders. Check out the hosted knife makes forum, I know REK Knives does some frame locks.
