December 4, 201510 yr Playing with a new to me type of folder. Body's half a horseshoe, blade's 5160 scrap, copper pins, and a leather spacer. A little heavy, but not too bad. Might shave the inside down a bit on the next one. Wife provides the shoes, she gets the prototype. Pics are loading sideways, so make sure and turn your head.
December 4, 201510 yr Thanks for the idea NBS, there is no locking mechanism in this one correct? Could we get a picture of the spine view open and closed?
December 4, 201510 yr Author Nah, just a friction folder type, and the blade/spine fetches up against the pin as a stop. It was a little loose, so I put a leather washer in it, firmed it enough. No pics today, my wife's off giving riding lessons.
