My new EDC

[10es&]

After seeing a knife by David Broadwell using this Lightning Strike Carbon Fiber
I had to make one for myself! So here it is...

Blade .105 CPM154
Liners .060 6-4 titanium
Spacer carbon fiber
Scales sweet looking Lightning Strike Carbon Fiber
OAL 7.200”

Thanks for looking, all comments welcome.

Nice job. What type of pivot pin did you use? Thanks, Dan

Beautiful! I had thought to wait awhile before trying a folder of any kind, but work like that really motivates me to learn more.

Dan Van,
Here is an link to the pivot, I have been very happy with them and ordered some more this past weekend.

Rob,
Thanks for the compliment. If you have not seen it already I would strongly recommend looking at this tutorial by Ray Rogers. Ray did an excellent job explaining step-by-step how to make a liner lock.
The best way to learn more is to just do it.

Now that's really nice, both the shape and the Carbon Fiber!!
Thanks for the link to Ray Rogers tutorial - very useful.
I just completed a DDR2 kit from Knifekits, and really enjoyed it, would like to make one of my own, after reading Ray's tutorial I may just try sooner than I thought.
