Francis Trez Cole Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 this is a folder that I made a few weeks ago it is the first one I have ever made. Thanks to all the inspiration from Rich and Steve and their knife class. The blade is from a car timing chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eseemann Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I need to make some like this. I live next to Redstone Arsenal and you can not bring any fixed blade on post or any folder over 3". I want to make some thick (1/8" to 3/16") broad bladed folders to go in my OCK (Oh Crud Kit) that will have most of the functionality of a fixed blade.

Francis Trez Cole Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 eseemann it is a very ridged blade it is 3 1/4" L, 1 1/4" W, 1/16" thick. Total length open is 7 1/4" I have been blacksmithing for years and only played with a few fix blade knives before. But I am always looking for ways to get out of my comfort zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eseemann Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Yup sounds like just the thing. looks very nice, Next time you make one put up a picture of the blade before it goes in the scale so we can see the shape of the pivot end. thanks Ernest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
