Foreground solid frame of Giraffe shin bone, wood handle is also presentation Cocobolo
Black Linen micarta file worked spine of D2 tool steel
Detail of Copper Spine & Vine worked inside liner as well
Folders in Cocobolo, one of the nicest and most durable natural woods
Nice Little Folder Bocote wood and rope filework, steel is AUS 6a stainless
Size comparison larger knives have 3.5 inch blades
Stainless damascus requires acid etching
Most folder components springs rockers, lock backs, blades are made and heat treated in my shop
Stainless Steel Swedish Damascus is bought in bar stock. This piece has superb file work all the way around lock back and blade continuous, with ruby insert thumb opener
My folders can be customized in many ways. Selection of either wood, bone, horn or micarta handle, with or without file working. File working takes considerable time but adds considerable value as no two knives are exactly the same. Vine and thorn and what I call frayed rope pattern are a signature of my file work.
