VERY nice....personally i make flipper liner locks i don't like the look of a lot of frame locks but you did it really well doesn't look big and bulky like a lot of them out there.....You like this RWL-34 steel? never used it but see it more and more these days

RWL-34 is basically 154cm or ATS34 steel.

It's named for Robert W. Loveless and is a very purified CPM steel similar to CPM154cm or ATS34 steel. Heat treat is the same from what l gather and Damasteel uses it in their stainless Damascus Dave.

I know its in damasteel that was my first encounter with it but eventually I saw people using it on its own at first just here and there but seems its picking up steam because I am seeing it more and more...I did not know it was named after loveless but seems fitting that man did a lot for knifemaking!

I haven't built on yet...usually I use .40"-.50" for my pieces. What would your suggestions be for the frame using a blade that is 3/32"/.093 to 1/8"/.1250?
