Matthew D Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 This is my first locking folder. My brother helped me with all the steps. I am making three more just like it, but with different scales. Steel: 1/8 154-CM Brass liner and bolster Died bone scales I still need to put in the mosaic pins this week and will post a finished photo. Very smooth and locks perfectly. Blade pivots on a stainless bushing. OAL = 5.125 Blade 2.125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-1ToolSteel Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Very impressive!! Not really my style, but that's just me, and it looks very well made. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Nice work! Unusual design. For some reason unknown to me - it makes me think of whales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew D Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 It's is a unique design. It's meant to be a little folding skinner. With a blade and handle similar to an old time sheep skinner. Somewhat like a canoe or butterbean design. Very handy little knife. Here is a photo of the finished knife with the mosaic pins. Just put them in this evening. For your viewing pleasure the second photo shows the large folder my brother made for me 12 years ago next to the little model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Surely that's no fluke. Maybe so, but it wasn't on porpoise. Nice set of knives there, Matthew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrognak Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Wow, really interesting design, all of them are great works of art. Is that mokume-gane on one of em handles? It is good to see new ideas for folders, it is a unusual shape i never seen before good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
