I would not want to end up on the wrong side of that knife. ^_^

[butch]

sadly i need to rehandle it no matter how smooth it might be the gap at the scale end need fixed

[David Lowry]

Butch,

I'm looking forward to seeing more of that folder. That looks and sounds sweet.

Liner lock or frame lock?

[butch]

liner lock
its got bluejeans burl handle scales on right ow but they lifted or i didnt get then just right or somethign and theres a gap at the but end of the knife

the blade is cpm10v but is slightly off center (tip warped just a bit and you can tell) nother strike on me

Dang it Butch, That knife looks hotter than a habanero. When do we get to see close up pics? Looks like I'm going to have to sell some stuff and get ready.

Looks smooth.:cool:

then theres the blade off center but thats not a liner pushing the blade and its not the whole blade warped and nothing rubs the tip is jsut off

[tonydahose]

nice knife.

[ASHTXSNIPER]

very nice

[bigkahunasix]

Thanks for the extra pictures Butch, just like I said "hotter than a habanero".
Fine looking knife and the scales are beautiful. I'd take her, warts and all, and use the hell out of it.

Fine work, that Spyderco collaboration keeps getting closer and closer.

Looks SUPER smooth to me.

If I tried any of that (especially without watching the knife as you do) I would end up going on a smooth ride to the emergency room.

You are very tricky with that knife!

[So-Lo]

Do you take orders? :D

Really, I bet a few of us would love to know. Thats a great looking knife. I would like mine in SE please............................................ ........:D S30V would be fine for me. :rolleyes: :D



Great work, as always. :cool:

[224477]

I know, your work looks great now. With a few more folders under your belt you would be on the money. ( not that I see any big flubs, after the scale is fixed :cool: )

Can you see yourself making more folders in the future?

[butch]

folders are a fun distraction from kitchen knives that for the most part are full flat ground 6-10 inch blades.

so yes now and then i ll be working on a folder or 2 (its a different kind of madness). after the feed back on this styl ive done i may keep refining the handle and blade and then make a Jr. size as the knife is large

[bigkahunasix]

You get my email? I volunteer to field test anything you see fit out here on the farm and at the gunshop. :D :D
