Hi, today I want to show off something I've been working on for the last two years :) hope it will be interesting to you.

I wanted to create a sturdy folder with a good locking mechanism, a design that will be solid while maintaining a reasonable weight and a safety mechanism that will not fail. And in the end, even if you try to do some sh*t with the knife, and it doesn't survive, it will still be easily repaired and put into a fully functional state. I just don't like consumer products destined to be replaced after few years of use.

You can judge (as much as the video will allow) if and how close I came to my goal. I'll be glad for insights and comments.

Very nice. I like the size, the grind, the lock and the styling.

Thank you,

your words motivate me to push forward :) Altouhg I must say that the grind leaves still so much to be desired, but I hope that next time it will be fairly better.

Btw. Im waiting for the new materials to arrive so Im entertaining myself with making once piece liners/scales of aluminium, so far Im lovim them more that I would like to admit. ::ds::
