October 30, 200619 yr I just completed a new folding knife, for pics and info please see gallery thanks. Small folder, 5 1/2" overall length with 2 3/8" damascus blade. 416 bolsters and jigged bone scales.
October 30, 200619 yr Great looking knife Rich. I like the bold pattern in the blade. What is the blade makeup and layer? Steve
October 31, 200619 yr Is it of slipjoint or linerlock design? Looks very comfortable and easy to handle.
October 31, 200619 yr 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. :)
October 31, 200619 yr Mister Hale, gorgeous work. Absolutely gorgeous. Makes any Case or other commercial knife look lame.
October 31, 200619 yr 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
October 31, 200619 yr Author 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.
October 31, 200619 yr that is a beautiful knife, i like the blade pattern a BP would be nice on a folding knife, i guess the best way to learn how its put together is to take one apart, Ron
November 3, 200619 yr Hey I think the knife look really nice.Hey how much harder is making folder than a fixed handle?To me it looks like a art all in it self.
November 3, 200619 yr It is quite a bit more complex than a full tang fixed blade. Mostly it requires more care in fitting and time in general to make a folder. Look for a copy of "The complete book of pocket knife repair" if you're interested in making slipjoint folders. ron
