Finally got something done!

Been a while since I've actually gotten anything done in the shop. Been feeling a bit better the last few days, so I decided to let it all hang out on a new small Gen-2 Flipper.

CPM154 Blade

Everything else is carved/textured/anodized 6AL4V titanium.

This one I did with "loose" bearings and a 3/16" pivot. I've gotten really spoiled using the "caged" bearings that I normally do......loose bearings in a folder pivot is like herding cats!

Good looking knife there, Ed . Glad to hear some things are getting a bit better for you, I know how badly you'd like to "get back to normal". Looking forward to good results from tomorrow's appointments.

Looks good Ed. Maybe one of these days I'll have to give a folder a try, just for grins and giggles if nothing else.

That's a great looking folder Ed. Looks very in style with the hot folders of late.

I like how you carried the texture of the handle out onto the blade. Nice touch.
