Thanks! I've been wrestling with my new IKEA kitchen for a couple of days now..., that means no time to spend in the workshop.. Anyway, here is some pics of the third folder i built; blade from AEB-L, liners from an cirkular sawblade, bolster of 7075 alu, scales from bog oak. Hmm... can't find...

Haha! I asked before i cut them up to handle material! My mother is just a tad over 5ft tall but she has one hell of a temper, so no cutting up clothes without asking.. Funny you should mention the little wharncliff; yesterday i started working on the liners for another one in that model! Cut...

Thank you Frank! The bone for this knife was stolen from my parents dog..; during hunting season we cut up moose legs for the dog to chew on.. after a week or so they are absolutely cleaned from all soft tissue, and left outside in the yard for a year or so they get bleached by the sun. It still...

thanks! some more of my folders; the brass/denim knife is the second folding knife i built.. Built after blueprints from Mr Terzuola's book. I guess Mr T would cry if he saw this knife. The liners are cut from an old circular sawblade, the scales are homebrew denim/polyester. The black knife...

another one.. Gentlemen, heres another linerlock i made..; aeb-l blade, scales made up of my mothers old pants soaked in polyester, liners from a steel ruler, bolster made of 7075-t6 aluminium. This knife is really small, i think the blade was less than 2". Made it for a lady i know who wanted...

Thank you Anthony! I have only made two knifes with bone scales, so I'm probably not the rigth person to answer your question.. anyway, the scales seems to keep flat, but some very slight shrinkage seems to have taken place. A very thin gap has appeared between scale and bolster on one of the...

Hi there, I started making folding knifes back in 2012, built some linerlocks, but due to divorce where i lost my house and workshop pretty much everything came to a halt in mid 2013. Anyway, I'm almost done with my new house and hopefully I can go back to spending some time in my workshop...

Thank you very much for the kind words! I realize that some sort of surface grinding equipment would be a good thing to have when building slipjoints... I think my next project will be a simple "surface grinding attachment" for my grinder! Thanks /O

Hi there, Here is some pics of my first slipjoint.. The liners are made of an old stainless steel ruler, brass bolsters, scales are homemade t-shirt/polyester resin, blade and spring made of an old file. Did the heat treatment in my living room; heated in the wood burner, quenched in water...

Gentlemen, I've been lurking here for quite some time.., and now finally got around to register. My name is Ola, 39y/o, self employed physio. Made my first knifes when i was about 10 years old.. Lost interest in knifemaking ( sounds impossible doesn't it? ) in my late teens, when girls and...
