This is my first try at a folder (Well I've done one fricky, but that doesn't count!). I have been making knives for about 2 1/2 years, and this has always been a goal of mine. To make a folding knife that I would be want to carry. It isn't perfect, but remember, it's a proto!
It is a large knife, with a full 4" Elmax (my first time doing stainless too!) blade and OAL of 9 3/8". This is first time trying this type of grind as well, with the stout polished tip. It was inspired, by the all time master of the folding tanto, Mr. Bob Lum.
The backspacer is scalloped and heat colored, the screws are heated as well. It flips smooth on GTC thrust bearings, locks up rock solid, and is nicely centered.
Let me know what you guys think, this is all new territory for me.
