4th Folder (5th Knife) Comments Welcome
I finally finished one I can show off in the daylight!
This is my 4th Folder after finishing one fixed blade. I have nothing against the fixed blades, just kinda hard to show them off at the office without someone getting nervous about large edged weapons!    Stabilized Curly Maple scales Heat blued damascus bolsters ( got a red streaks on first try...kinda like em) Mild steel spacer also heat blued ATS-34 Blade ( still needs heat treating and final finishing) I wanted to thank all who share their knowledge here and especially Jason Howell, Ray Rodgers and Tom Anderson for their wonderful on-line tutorials: http://www.howellknives.com/index.php?BODY=liner1 http://www.rayrogers.com/ftutorial.htm http://www.knivesby.com/Anderson1.html THANKS GENTLEMEN!! __________________ Duarte M.

Now you're hooked for life on folders, Duarte. You're good. Forget the fixed blades.

Thanks all
Yes...I am hooked on folders!! I'll need to build a few more for family and friends before I would feel comfortable selling one, but that time will come. Patience..Practice. Grace to trash the bad ones. I just need about 8 more hours in my day!
