iamzeus Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Finally finished my first friction folder and i LIKE it :D It is far from perfect but it WORKS! It locks very securely but it's very loose when it's closed so i might make a little sheath for it if i want to carry it with me. Like my 2 other knives the handle is homemade micarta made with my moms old jeans and this my first knife made with 5160 (old car spring). I can proudly say that this knife cuts just as well as knives that ive bought online. I was also working on a tactical bowie but it won't be finished for a loooong time. I badly sprained my wrist while boxing so forging is out of question and im going to basic training in the canadian forces next month. Won't be smithing for a while :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamzeus Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Made the sheath today in olive kydex. It was waaay easier than i thought it would be. My homemade kydex press worked like a charm. Came out really nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Made Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Very cool! Haven't ever tried to make a folder. Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyd Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 put a drop of super glue on the inside of the pin and work the blade till it sets up then a drop of oil it will be just right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
