[clint]

Hey hows it going, I have not posted for a bit the girls all star softball games have taken over my life and my knife making, we're at the fields every day until dark and for the last 4 weekend out of town playing and we still have 1 1/2 months left so I thought i'd try something that i always wanted to do in fact this the reason i started making knives is to make pocketknives it only took me 1 1/2 years to do it "damn fixed blades" so this is my first locking folder it has a 2.6" blade and is 6 1/8" overall the blade is .200 thick and 1" wide its made of 1095 and 15n20 60 layers , I forged it last weekend and had the last two days off so here's what i did. i might treat the handles like a wood handle and tapper them like you would a grip hope you understand that, but maybe not . Please help with anything you see that need work . I pleased with it being the first one but theres many to come this is fun I did it a FOLDER
