Buff & 'mascus folder (PIC HEAVY!!)
« on: January 18, 2008, 03:41:00 PM »
Here's a few pics of my first Friction Folder.

Blade; 3" Cable Damascus
Liners; 1.5mm Stainless
Back-Spacer; 3.6mm 01, fileworked & HTd
Handle; Honey/Grey Buffalo horn
Friction spacers; Silicon Bronze

This is the first folder I've attempted. It's a dang sight more difficult than I thought, getting the stop pins in the correct places!
The blade was given to me by a good friend & cable-mascus afficionado, as a plain blank. I forged it from a stick-tang fixed blade to this little beauty, leaving his stamp intact (no mean feat itself!)
The whole thing took around 18hrs from start to finish.

Jeff, where'd you get the pattern for *my* knife?  I just spent an hour sketching up a ring-back folder to get things right!

Awesome knife Rob!!!!   :thumbsup:
