Comments appreciated. Thanks!
 
I wouldn't want a knife with NO tip, but your straight knife looks damn cool.

The folder's a bit chunky, although I'm interested in how you created the false hamon.
 
Awesome! :cool:

I was looking at your site a month or so ago and remember drooling over the folder you were working on. Fantastic! I love a big folder and that bad boy is huge. Hell, it's bigger than the Sheba(which I quite like). And while it is big, it also looks comfy with some nice looking micarta(?) with good ergo's. Big stout blade with a wicked looking 'hamon'. Nice touch with the false hamon as I love a fiery looking temper line. :thumbup:
 
Not a folder guy, but still really nice. Love the 'Sheba', looks like a very efficient cutter. I even like the way it hangs in the sheath. :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the comments. The false hamon was done by airbrushing GunKote in that pattern. FYI: http://www.kgcoatings.com/gunkote.html

I realise that the folder is too big for many's tastes but I love big folders, and I make knives for my own pleasure. I have had more inquiries about the folder than any other model, so I guess I'm not the only one.:) If I ever get the time again, I have a smaller folder design that I'd like to implement as well.

Thanks again...
