Oh I don't know, maybe some stainless bolsters comming down from the top and angled back a bit. Give em' a good 30 - 35 degree dovetail with some stabilized wood for handles. I think it'll make a nice camp folder. Is the blade damascus? It looks from the pic like unetched damasteel. Good luck bro. Keep the pics comming huh.

Is this a work in progress or is it finished? Picture isn't too good. If it's in progress it looks like a good basic design. The picture makes it look like the handle is bare metal - which can be OK some times - but I'd like to see some bolsters, scales, a thumb stud, and a notch in the side of the handle so that the lock can be released more readily. I'm having to assume that this is a liner lock but I suppose it could be a slip joint in which case it wouldn't ned the thumb stud ot notch .....

should have said more i guess....the picture is a scan so thats why it sucks
 it is a wip the scales will be SS just like the blade with some etching so it wont be so plain. i just didnt know if i like the way the blade to handle transition went.thanks bill __________________ Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste death but once. --Shakespeare: Julius Caesar

Hey, it's perhaps just a little different. The blade is larger than may be often used but there is nothing wrong. Because it isn't what I would call commonly seen,it just looks a little different. however different isn't bad, it's just different. I believe like Ray, that if you get something on the scales, it will make it a far more attractive knife and one that is more comfortable to use. Frank

Hey Omega, this is your first folder, isn't it? I like the basic design. It looks useful, and it doesn't look like a clone of anybody else's design. Keep us posted with more pics.

hey brett, actually this is probably my 20th folder, oh wait, did you mean that actually worked?, in that case its only my third or fourth. im making this one and one for me at the same time so im not sure which will get done first. after i get off work ill post a pic of the other one too, id do it now but its 4am and my mind cant grasp scanning and all at that time

I think they both look interesting...
 I also scan my thinner objects...I've found that a white t-shirt over the knife (or a sheet of paper and then the t-shirt), then Gamma-correcting at 1.5 once or twice does the trick [I use Paint Shop Pro]...
