Default A few folder images

I was going to post these in the "Gallery", but keep getting error messages, so I thought I would try here.....

These are a few of the folders that I've produced...

This is one of my "Gents" folders. All Mosaic Damascus, titanium liners and thumb studs, heat colored, with rubies inset into the back spacer.
"Golden Currents" Photo 1


Next is my "Progression II" folder. This folder has a blade of 52100, titanium liners, and G-10 handles. It was produced for a local rancher friend. The clip is engraved with the individual's brand. Photo 2


Finally, this next folder is all Mosaic Damascus, with engraving.... Photo 3

As a lover of fine cutlery, all I have to say is....WOW.

That is some fine work you do, Ed.

Looking good Ed. I'm going to have to try some 52100 one of these days when I can break the damascus habit.

What Thomas said. Those are world class, truly world class. I've met a few internationally reknowned Knife makers on my travels if that makes my opinion any more valid. If I try knife making I would almost certainly be prevelidged to see how you do it first hand Ed, seeing those puts you right alongside Jim in the 'Must pop in for a cuppa and a natter' list on the USA.
