Got folder #1 in my pocket....

Finally finished my first folder a couple days ago. Gave me a whole new appreciation for what Kevin Evens did figuring these things out without an experienced teacher looking over his shoulder. Gotta say a big thanks to my buddy Jon Christensen for coaching thru the intricacies of the Liner Lock Folder, he's a great teacher.
My Damascus and some of the Mammoth ivory I picked up on our trip to AK last December.
Thanks for looking.

She's a beaut, Doug.
I know you're proud of it.
I sure would be.

That knife has a warmth that just looks like your friend who wants to go to the woods with you. Love everything about it. Congradulations.

Thanks Guys, really appreciate it. It's a rare knife I build that I think "I'm never getting rid of this is one" but this baby qualifies. With out a doubt my new EDC.

She's just under 3 7/8" closed, blade is 3 1/8" making it 7" open.
Everything came out perfectly centered and true.
Even had a stencil made since my bear track is a little large for these folders.
