Awesome job man. I've been tinkering with folder designs and ruined the first 3 I had started...shocker. Getting a mill delivered tomorrow and happy for the extra precision it's going to lend. I'm looking forward to seeing how yours come together-thanks for posting them.

Thanks guys. I heat treated the blades last night so hope to make some more progress this week. The ladder pattern one is getting engraved bolsters and mammoth ivory, so it will not progress too fast.
