Has anyone done this or seen this done? I tried searching the forum, but didn't find anything. If there is a thread or two about this, can someone point me towards it?

Thanks!
 
Someone made a Busse Mean Streets into a frame lock a few years ago. I'm guessing this ran him $400 or so + a weeks work. He had the only folding Busse in the world so it was probably worth it.
There are folding hunting knives where the blade is longer than the handle. You can get a Chinese or Pakistani version on eBAY for $15-$20. A German version is still being made & goes for $300 or so. There are "vintage" versions but they tend to be expensive & probably wouldn't make the best knives for using.
What kind of knife do you want to convert?
 
Someone converted a Becker BK14 or BK11 to a folder, don't recall the exact thread but it looked pretty damn cool.
