Tinker's folder

[hellize]

Good day,


I am ready with another tinker's folder. It is 13.5 cm long when closed and 23.7 cm when opened. The blade is 10.2 cm long, 31 mm wide and 5 mm thick. It is a san mai, forged of barbed wire with a 5160 core. Unfortunately the weather is crappy and so are pics, sorry.

Hope you like it

Interesting lock and release mechanism. Regarding the barbed wire: what do you mean? Surely you did not melt down wire to make the blade ...

Melting?? Don't be silly! Or course not.
It is forge welded. A few wip's attached for enlightenment.

Okay, I get what you mean. My Dad did some blacksmithing type stuff and showed me how I could weld steel by hammering it together red hot. Why you would use barb wire is another question. Anyway, the results look cool.

Well, make that lemon yellow red hot isn't enough.
I would use it for aesthetics of course!
