January 17, 201115 yr This folder is dressed up with a twist blade, bolsters and back spring,file work pocket clip and some awesome mammoth ivory for a handle! Im pumped about this one it was a really fun build and it all came together so great! Oal: 8" Blade: 3 12" Again love this knife but comments and critiques from an unbiased source is always welcome!
January 17, 201115 yr That is a beautiful knife. You should really be extra proud of it. Great job and thanks for sharing. :)
January 19, 201115 yr Randy great lines the file work is great. like everything but the pocket clip the stainless takes away from the rest of the knife.but thats only one old fat mans opini on.Tony
January 19, 201115 yr Great looking knife. Love the handle and the inlay at the top of the handle (what did you use to do that?). The file work looks awesome. But have to agree with Tony about the bright stainless clip. It sticks out from the darker tones of the blade and the earthy tones of the handle. As always you have produced work of a very high standard. Thank you for sharing. Adam
January 20, 201115 yr Author Nice job! What steel used? Steel is 1095 and 15n20 Thanks everyone, yeah the next thing we want to try is to make the clip and liners out of damasucus too, so keep your eye peeled! :)
January 26, 201115 yr That looks awsome! you have every rite to be pumped. The only thing visualy is the aftermarket pocket clip, needs a third screw for the empty hole. I personaly hate bending clips, it's a pain to get them just rite. I did find a source of ti clips, but I still prefere to bend my own. I know damascus would work for the linner, but I still think ti would be better, after it work hardens a bit it doesn't seem to wear anymore and it's somewhat "sticky" to the lock. Your making me want to get off my butt and try a damascus folder out.
February 11, 201115 yr the knife is gorgeous, but it seems to me that the pocket clip and thumb stud are out of place. they should have been either damascus as well, or darkened somehow
February 13, 201115 yr How do you say, AWSOME, in bladesmith talk? Well done indeed. the proper way is to say you will pay him 2x what the other guy offered
February 14, 201115 yr I never produced a folder, because I don't trust a friction folder for work, and the frame locks I have tried take too much to get to lock correctly in both the open and closed positions. only hand filing is very hard to get correct angles. How have you gotten these to work ?
December 18, 201411 yr Perfect folding knife. I saw 3k US$ knives for selling that were not a fraction of yours. Thanks for sharing, Bacha.
January 30, 201511 yr I would buy one like it ... maybe a 1/2" too long ...and the pattern in the metal is cool too! as far as the clip goes 3 screws would be right...and if you made it black like the pattern in the Damascus ... That may work ...the stainless is fine tho.... My compliments!!
