The overall flow on that one is perhaps the best I've seen of any folder...wonderful balance!  Excellent work all the way around!

Beautiful knife!....what's the hardest part in making a folder?

You need a table full of those at a knife show.
Great job.

Thanks guys

The hardest part Gene, is keeping everything absolutely straight and tight.
When Karl was showing me the final things about being a knife maker ,it was alot about everything being straight and true from square one to the end.Thats really holds true with folders

Kevin, that's a beauty!

I can begin to appreciate the work and planning put into a folder as I am working on a very primitive friction folder using a whitetail crown.  I know it's much different, like comparing apples & oranges.
