Hi all. I have an idea of an assisted opening flipper. I've made assisted opening liner locks with a split back/spring spacer as the assist and also with a piece of spring wire under tension attatched to the spacer, both work. Now I'm looking at an assisted opener in a flipper model and...

Here's one I just finished. About 8 inches overall. Skull bolsters and damascus blade (bought from members here if I remember correctly) Walnut scales.....not as tight to the bolsters as I started out with? Ti liners and a black g10 spacer. Kevin.

Here's a couple more of the 'carribean' pattern I've been working on. Both about 71/2 overall. One with copper bolsters and tiger maple and a home'made copper thumb stud. Second has dyed box elder burl, 1080 etched bolsters and a leather pull from the back spacer. Comments welcome.

Just finished this one. 1080 blade and back spacer, ti liners and ebony grips. I left the back spacer a little 'proud'. I usually grind this flush but it looked good the way it was. 3 1/4 blade and around 7 1/2 overall, linerlock. Kevin.

Here's one I just finished. A friend sent me a piece of mammoth ivory he had kicking around from his years in Alaska so I decided to make him a knife. 1080 blade and back, titanium liners and mammoth scales. I think I should have brought the tip down a bit in the locked position. About 6 1/2...

Just finished this one. 1080 steel and stainless liners. I ferric chloride etched the bolsters for a gray look. Blade cutting edge is 3" and knife is 8" overall. Assisted opener, titanium pocket clip, desert ironwood scales.

Here's a new folder design I've been working on, for years actually!. It is a front locking folder. The upsweep on the end of the back spring is actually the lock. Run your finger down the back of the blade, pull back on the spring and the blade unlocks. Still looking at options for one handed...

Had a little time in the shop the last couple months, here's what I came up with. Two straight blades and some friction folders. Comments welcome. Kevin.

Hi all. I discovered this forum from a link elsewhere. I consider myself a newbie at making knives, although I've been doing it for a few years now. Stock removal only and mostly small straight blades. Got our first snow this week so there will be some time in the shop now. Looks like lots...

Just came in looking at the plans for the no weld grinder. I'm thinking of going with a variable speed this winter. I'm a hobbyest, not full time, stock removal, no forging, and would like to try my hand at folders this winter. I ride motorcycles in the summer and grind when the weather gets...
