I like it! Keep at it and you'll cross that finish line.

Looking good, Jake. Folders are a big undertaking, but with enough patience and perseverance, I believe that anyone can make one. I agree with Mike that you can still use your stainless steel liner and cut out a lock bar. It really doesn't have to be all that springy. The travel on a lock...

I have mine completed too and I'm usually a world-class procrastinator LOL.

Nice work there. Thanks for sharing.

Nice looking knife, Kev. Looks like a real workhorse. Great work.

I like it! Very handy profile there. Nicely done.

I just bought a set of sandflex blocks that had the course, medium and fine which I received over the weekend. I finished out my KITH knife blade with the medium as well as the satin bolsters just to see how they would perform. Worked like a charm! I'll be using these blocks a lot more in the...

Looks like a summer well spent. Very nice work.

Thanks for the comments, fellas. I really appreciate them. Sorry about the fingerprints on the finished pics. I didn't even realize the bolsters were smudged until I just looked at the pics again. A photographer I am not.

Nice! You're going to be so glad that you took the time to make this. I'm tuned in and watching.

Great work, Kevin! That's one to be proud of for sure.

The finished blade. Looking good. For a finishing touch, I like to carbidize the face of my lock bar. I use my etching unit for the power supply and a Dremel vibratory engraver that I have wired up and an old carbide cutter installed. Twenty seconds later and the lock face has a layer of...

Time to finish up this knife. Here are the final pics of this build. Hope you enjoy. If you recall, we left off last week with marking the grind lines on the blade and fastening the blade in my file guide. Here I am hollow grinding the bevels on the blade. I freehand my grinds, but I do...

Nice knives! Great photography too.

Welcome to the forum. This is a great community and it's nice to have you here.

Gorgeous knife, John. I love and appreciate every detail. Top notch photography too. Expertly done.

Very nice work, Justin. Love them both.

I made a little more progress on the KITH knife build that I thought share. Here are a few pics of that progress. Here's where I'm at with the handle. It's been contoured and polished up to 1500 grit on the grinder. I put a 600 grit satin finish on the bolsters. I'm not sure if I'll keep...

What a coincidence. I just ordered some Boelube this morning to give it a try. I've heard good things about it.

Love the knife and the history behind it. Expertly done.
