Very, very cool, Serge! I really like it a lot. Especially the blade design! One question, why the bar behind the lock on the outside of the frame? Does it serve a functional purpose, or is it just part of teh aesthetics?
 
Looks very well executed Serge - nice work. You're becoming quite versatile in your knifemaking - makes me very curious to see what you'll do next!
 
Way cool! I want it! Too bad I already have two customs on order, I'm just tapped out...

Ted, it is an overtravel stop for the lock bar. So you don't bend it too far out that it won't bend in on its own.

I like EVERYTHING about it BUT the orange. Replace that with carbon or "lightning strike" and it would be WAY cool!

Thanks Xander - that's what I thought, I just didn't know that it would be a realistic issue - none of the framelock folders that I own have one on them, and they have never failed... Or even looked like they wanted to start failing.
