Welcome to the Adam Smith Knives forum! I'm pleased to have this venue to show a few of the things I've made over the last couple of years, and perhaps share my thoughts and approach to knifemaking.
To start it off: this was the prototype of the f1 folder. This is a super lightweight liner lock, made with only a single liner and always out of durable handle materials (micarta, g10). The blade is so light that it does not flip (and I don't care by design: it is not a tactical folder, it is a hard work pocket knife). It is easily and quickly opened with one hand (which I do care about). I make the pivots, only parts not of my manufacture are the assembly screws.
This one is in cpm-m4, vintage Westinghouse paper micarta.
