Those thick liners look particular nice on the friction folders. I bet they are great users!

Thank you gentleman, I am glad you like them. Capt. Farrel those knives were indeed built to be users - it is a big knife but built to work. It is also a bit of a unique knife in that, while it is a friction folder with the elongated tang, it is also has a liner lock, so the knife is extremely robust and safe - it is HUGELY unlikely but even if either the tang or the lock should fail or mal-function the other would still leave you with a fully functional, safe knife. It also has a full length back spacer that acts as a second blade stop, so the blade stops against both the stop pin and the back spacer in both the open and closed position. For the guys in the UK who may not legally EDC a locking knife, but are allowed to use it around the house or when camping, I build a version where they can de-activate the liner lock - you close the knife, and insert a small cap screw, which holds the lock open, or when you want the lock to operate, close the knife and remove the screw. It is the little screw inlet into the wood you can see in the pics:
