Full stainless friction folder

[KDX]

I had one of those 'I wonder what it would be like' ideas and tried making a full stainless friction folder. Normally I grind AEB-L after the heat treat, but this time I tried it before. It's going to be a rough looking 'industrial' kind of finish so the blade wasn't taken to a very high polish. It's definitely not my best grind either. Although it takes longer to grind, I think I like grinding post heat treat. 1/2" holes to put the size in perspective.

That's going to look cool. Hey, you'll have a built in cigar cutter too.

Thanks. I finished it and made a thread in the folders forum. It turned out OK. I chamfered the scale edges free hand so they are rough and inconsistent, I was going for a industrial kind of look so it fits.
