wolfshieldrx Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 ...for my Dad's 78th birthday. Applewood scales, brass liners and pins, mild steel divider. The blade was forged from a tire tool. This is my first real attempt at file work. Comments, questions and critiques welcome! Thanks for looking...bart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I wish one of my sons would make something like that for me...nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlpierson Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 That's very good for a first attempt at file work. Good imagination too -- I haven't seen that liner pattern used before. Simple but effective. I like the whole knife. It's one of the cleanest, most modern looking friction folders I can remember seeing. Not that the more common rustic or ornate rustic styles are bad, but this is nicely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric sprado Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Nice! thanks. I've been looking for threads on friction folders so I can make a basic one for my daughter for Christmas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminbunny Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I am just starting out making friction folders and this is so beautiful I could weep with envy. Please tell me how you do the brass or perhaps you could post a diagrammatic sketch? I don't sell BTW. So if I imitate it would be sheer flattery.

wolfshieldrx Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 I am just starting out making friction folders and this is so beautiful I could weep with envy. Please tell me how you do the brass or perhaps you could post a diagrammatic sketch? I don't sell BTW. So if I imitate it would be sheer flattery. Thanks for the encouraging words! Just my second friction folder and was kind of a seat-of-the-pants project. Brass liners were cut to rough shape with fret saw then riveted to bolsters. Next the liners/bolsters were rivet to the scale material. Finally the whole shebang was riveted together and filed/sanded to shape. Hope this helps. bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
