I already got 4 and 5 almost done! Just gotta heat treat and finish shape the blades. Woulda had em done already but I goofed up the blades the first time around. It's wierd making a blade for a frame instead of the other way round.

Great looking knife Mike. Those gold screws are a nice contrast to the damascus bolsters.

looks great the only advice i have is to use a darker background to make the ivory come out.

Very nice Michael. Only your third? From the looks of this one it sure appears that you have made more than three folders. Well done.

Thanks David, Keith!

Lol, you must be one hard workin dude Ferret! Wish I could get it back like that but I guess age and wieght is catchin up to me.

Keith, I guess you could say I got a head start. It took me almost 7 years of making fixed blades before I figured these folders out. I thought liner locks would be easy and simple but they're not. It's so easy to slip up and have to remake something.


Oh yeah, this one is still available in the Maker's for Sale forum or on my web site on the Available Knives page. Thanks for taking time to check it out!!!
