New Burlap Micarta Liner Lock

[JRB Blades]

Just finished up this liner lock this week. Blade is 1/8" O1 steel, acid etched and stonewashed. .090" titanium liners. 1/8" burlap micarta scales.

Very robust. It's like a frame lock with scales. Nicely done.

Question: How does a frame/liner lock get the bend in it?

 

[JRB Blades]

Thanks! I use a bit of a thicker liner on my liner locks so that I can countersink the screws that hold the standoffs together. I think the fewer screws on the scale makes for a better look. Just my style I guess.

I heat it with a map torch and bend it with a pair of pliers. Easy peasy.

I sure like that burlap stuff.
