October 5, 20178 yr 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
October 5, 20178 yr Very impressive!! Not really my style, but that's just me, and it looks very well made. Good job!
October 5, 20178 yr Nice work! Unusual design. For some reason unknown to me - it makes me think of whales.
October 6, 20178 yr Author 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.
October 6, 20178 yr Surely that's no fluke. Maybe so, but it wasn't on porpoise. Nice set of knives there, Matthew!
August 8, 20187 yr 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!
