Great looking knife Rich. I like the bold pattern in the blade. What is the blade makeup and layer?

Is it of slipjoint or linerlock design? Looks very comfortable and easy to handle.

Rich that is a stunning blade, I'm glad you finally finished it; the damascus does look great, I'll have to see that one next time I see you.

Mister Hale, gorgeous work. Absolutely gorgeous. Makes any Case or other commercial knife look lame.

Absolutely stunning. If you ever get the chance, a blueprint on how you go about putting one of these together would be very enlightening.

Thanks for sharing!
Mark

Default Folder,,,

Blade is my damascus 1084 and 15N20....It is a slip joint and a blue print would just not work on a folder, there is a whole lot of steps and some just have to be adjusted as you go.
