I have been wanting to make this for some time now. It is made off of an old Keen Kutter pattern. The blades are D-2, the scales are G-10, and the bolsters are lightning strike carbon fiber.
Thanks for looking,

I like Daddy Barlows but I think most of them are too long and skinny. I made this one 4 1/2" closed instead of 5" and proportioned it more like a regular Barlow. It has iron liners and bolsters with rough cut bone scales. The blade and spring are D-2 just because that is what I can heat treat...
I made this knife using the bolsters and pattern from an old broken Remington.
D-2 blade and spring

I have seen Buck 110 & 112 knives converted to autos and am looking for instructions on making them. Has anyone done a tutorial on this?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

I just got an order for a carbon fiber handled folder. I have never used carbon fiber. On G-10 I use a slack belt to 220 grit and then hand sand to 320-400 grit and lightly finish with steel wool. It takes longer than I would like but I don't have a variable speed grinder and this is the only...
I have just ordered a oven and should get it fed-ex any day now. I am wanting to start using D-2 for my folder blades and springs. Up until now, I have been using 1095 and a torch for heat treating. I need instruction on how to use the foil that you put on the blades while in the oven and...
