I finally made a folder!
I've been working on these on and off for a while now. I finally got one finished. This is my second folder to date and it's the first one I've made in my own shop. I took a class with my good friend and mentor,MS Jon Christensen a few years ago and made my first one there in his shop. I also wanted to say thanks to my other good friends Bing and Ed Caffrey. These three guys really helped me out with getting these folders underway.
Nothing revolutionary or groundbreaking here. I just wanted to make a nice straightforward, practical, working/utility folder.This one is light and slim but still plenty stout for a folder. Specs: 80CrV2 steel 7" open, 4" closed, 2 7/8" of actual sharp edge, .114" thick Full distal taper in the blade Blade has a 800 grit hand sanded finish Rounded spine Black g-10 scales .060" thick titanium liners, jeweled 3/16" hardened steel pivot with titanium pivot screws Titanium handle scale screws Good, solid lockup and strong detent retention Any and all comments, questions, critique and opinions welcome. __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |
