Tony they are good to start with and then you keep improving them. Like the blade profile. Great work. ::nod::

Thanks Floyd. It seems that with each one I take a step forward on one aspect, and a step backward on another.

Number nine.
I had intended to build ten last year, but only finished seven. Second one for this year, and something to learn with every one.
Still using 1084 as I can get a consistent heat treat with it.
This one is wrapped in mammoth.

Tony you keep teasing with look but don't touch. Those are great especially with the mammoth. Excellent. ::tu::

Thanks Floyd. I feel the same way when I build a knife for someone. I have it for a time, but then can't use it.
It seems that more get stuck in my pocket, or on my side, than pass on through.

Doc,
Sorry, I am just now seeing this. This pattern is just over 3.25” closed length.


Started on a new design today. Still working on the pivot point, and need to narrow the width a bit. Planning to sandwich some jigged bone between nickel silver.

Thanks Doc. Trips take a lot out of a person. Still don’t think I’m caught up!

Have had some time in the shop again to work on the latest folder. It will be going to my son for his graduation. Will probably make a thread of its own and post a link here for future reference.

Tony, another beautiful knife. Looks a little bigger than the last one. I bet your son will be proud. Great job. ::tu::
