Another Button Lock
Here's the second successful knife I completed over in Don's School of Knifemaking Button Lock class. A little more confident, I got a bit fancier with this one.
Blade: ATS-34, hollow ground Liners: .100" titanium, engine-turned interior, anodized brass/purple/brown Back spacer: ATS-34 with vine filework (extends to top of blade, too) Bolsters: Jim Ferguson's Twisted Nickel Damascus ("Persian Delight" - This stuff is amazing. The pictures don't show the almost pearl-like iridesence as you turn it in the light. If you've ever seen a blade made from Jim's Damascus, you'll know what I mean.) Scales: Mammoth ivory bark Brass trim OAL: 7.375" Cutting edge is 3" A hefty 6.5 ounces (almost half a pound! One of the heaviest folders I've ever built.) This one snaps open with quite a jolt. Definitely a non-legal switchblade action. I might have to bend the kicker spring back a bit. -Frank __________________ --Frank J Warner Happiness is tight gibs and a flat platen. http://www.franksknives.com/ |

Another Button Lock
Frank:
That is one awesome knife. Your file work is outstanding as are your pictures. I like being able to see how you have the kicker spring placed. Was the button lock assembly difficult to place and align ? Also does the button lock, lock the knife in the open position as well as closed? Thanks for showing your work. Whiskers |

Frank, Fantastic work! your knives are some of my favorites to see, but this is fabulous!
Don't bend the spring, and just mail it to me, switchblades are legal here(to own). I should take that class..... should probably take the slipjoint class too.... G. __________________ http://ak-adventurer.net/ Gary Blessing, Ex-custom knife maker, Ex-Folder modifier & embelisher. |

I'd sign up Don, but no mill or lathe

Too bad, Trenton.
Maybe some day. In the meantime, you can build lots of knives with what you have. |
