New folder design

[timekeeper]

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 opening. Here's three that I made up so far. Comments welcome.

Kevin great craftmanship they look great. I just think that the locking lever might cause problems when carried in you pocket, just my 2 cents worth.

Great looking knives, But I have to agree with Pieter. I think carrying it might be problematic.
PS Great looking knife overall though, I really like the lines.

Yep, pocket carry is out, have to use some kind of pouch sheath. I'm considering a pocket clip, but I don't really want anything too 'modern' looking. A work in progress..................
