How to get started

Hello everyone, I am new here but I was wondering if there is a good kit for a folder to try. I like folders but I am not sure if I want to build them. So I was wondering if there was a good kit to try? Oh that is reasonably priced. Thanks for your help,

James

Hi James,

You got my vote. No matter how many kits you make, you will learn something and be that much further, should you decide to start your own.

I highly recommend the DDR2 or DDR3 liner locks. Look at the lineup at www.knifekits.com.

I have built twenty of them, and loved each one.

Coop
