Both have 1/8" thick ats34 blades, .090 ti liners, 416 bolsters. 9 3/4"
opened with 4 1/4" blade and 5 3/8" closed. Dual thumb studs and high riding tip down belt/pocket clip.The
blades, liners, and bolsters are satin finished. The black g10 is a lefty and the handles are
the textured kind while the red is the slick stuff. Gotta find a source for the textured g10, it is perfect for a folder. Wierd blade shape but I think it will let the knife slide into and out of the
pocket nicely without catching on anything. Lemme have it forumites, good or bad!
 
Nice! I love the red one. Why do you say the blades are weird? They look good and they have enough belly to make a good cut. Keep up the good work!
 
I like them L6 and the blade shape looks good to me.Let me see a clip side pic.Btw your picture taking is getting alot better. :)
 
From what I can see I have only good things to say. Very nice and in my opinion the blade shape is fine. You seem to have a real talent for this knife making thing.
 
Thank guys!!! Stumpy,I think it's cause I don't have to load them onto aol anymore!:D
Heres the backside.
 
Very nice profile; I like the clip up high on the bolster like you have them placed. The only thing I would modify is how much of the locking-liner is 'showing'. I feel that too much of the lock is exposed to the hand. I've got large, meaty hands and I've inadvertently unlocked knives when using them when the lock is exposed.....Beautiful knives, nonetheless. ;)
 
Swine!:mad: You know how to kick a furry animal when he's down! I spent all day buying and setting up this though...

Both kniffs look great in fact. FWIW I may get a chance to finish 5 and keep working on 6 (that's yours Duddles :) ) tomorrow...
 
Looks like somebody's been busy. They look good Michael!! Nice drill press Dav!! LarryD
 
Thanks Dawkind, Larry!!! I'm going to clean up the design a little and come up with a name for it and start making somemore.
Nice drill press Dave!
Well,I made a new knifenut friend today. Had an appointment with my doctor and had these two knives with me and after the how are ya's and such were over I showed them to him. His face lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. He didn't even know how a liner lock worked but said he was fixing to go on a trip into the Appalachians and was looking for a good pocket knife and snatched the red handled one right up. I was suprised, I thought folks would prefer the black handles but so far the red is most popular. Guess I better order some more of that.I never would have guessed this dude was a knifenut.
 
Nice looking work! Very cool selling one to your doctor. How about naming them after some point on the Appalachain Trail. I don't have any of my trial books handy but there are endless trial points. Sharp Rock?
