I put another folder together a little while back. My best to date. I'm trying to clean my stuff up like the blades I see you guys post on here ( long ways to go)
This first picture is just before heat treating the blade and spring. The rough tuning is done.

The second picture is after I've got it done.
I sent it to a good bladesmith to ware out so he could help me with my screwups.

Thanks guys, I've got a long ways to go but I'm having fun learning. My wish list for tools is growing.
Bob, this one has 01 tool steel in the lock & blade, 1095 in the spring. Nickle liner's and the rest is brass.
The shed elkhorn in the first pic is what the scales came out of.
Hope you post a pic of your first when you get done Rooster. Would love to see what style you do. I use cheater glasses these days.
Steve. I tryed a kit for my first one to figure out the parts. This is my third from scratch and I have a idea for the next one allready.
