Hello
I have a folder knife freshly finished, with the simplest and oldest known construction, dating back thousands of years. Even the ancient romans used it
The friction generated by the antler handle gripping the blade keeps the blade open or closed.
The blade is damascus and I used deer antler and groszy coins, which is polish change money like cent, for the handle.
The total length is 20 cm / 7.9 inches with a 8 cm / 3.2 inches long blade

Beautiful. It also looks very practical.

Back in September I posted an old, rusty thrower. You liked it and we joked about you doing one in Damascus. Regards and Merry Christmas, J.O'.

Oh yeah, now I remember!
I had a lot of stuff going on and forgot about it, to be honest. This year was a mess.
