Any way, hope you guys will try something simple and I will do my best to follow along.
Welcome, Anthony.

We'll definitely start a new project within a few weeks after everybody gets their barlow finished. Some are still working on one. So far the concensus tilts a little toward a framelock folder.

A framelock is the same as a linerlock without bolsters and handle scales. It's made from thicker titanium and doesn't need all that other stuff.

To see the difference, click on my web site below my signature here. When the site opens, use the navigation URL's at the top of the page and click on the one titled "Framelock Folders". Then click on the "Linerlock" page.

Don't be a stranger.
