RF3 Flipper Framelock [sold, thanks!]

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

RF3!

This one has lots of great contouring and a blade that really cuts nicely! The stratified finish on the clip, backspacer and spine adds texture and looks great.

Great action all around! Fires hard, nice and smooth action, well centered with strong detent and smooth lock release.

This looks great! I like what you did with the handle. How did you take out those grooves so straight? Did you mill it? CNC?
P.S. any knife making tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The grooves were manually milled in, I just count handle rotations on the mill to keep the spacing somewhat accurate. No CNC... everything is done by hand in my shop besides initial waterjet rough profiling and hole spotting to help keep things uniform. This one has about 5 days into it including heat treat.

I started with just a file and vise I clamped to my porch rail. Take things one step at a time and you can do anything!

I moved up from the porch rail to a tent and worked outside full time through two Winters... dug a 4' deep by 70' long trench by hand and ran my own electric... built a shop and now I'm just one more tool purchase away from having a complete shop!

I'd buy a foot or two of steel that you can send off for heat treat, a Nicholson Magi-cut file, some clamps, get a basic design going and start filing! It's a lot of fun and goes quicker than you might think. Just let me know if you have any questions!
