folding pocket knife

[squazy84]

I just made this medium sized folding pocket knife, it took me a while. its a lockback whittler.
the steel is 01 tool steel, the liners and bolsters are stainless, the scales are bone. bolsters are silver soildered,no play in any blades in any position.






please excuse the poor quality photos.

the bushings are aluminum bronze, the shank of the main blade is 6mm, smaller blades are both 2 mm shank, 100mm body length and main blade is 75mm to the bolsters.

I've done a couple of single blade folders and there is some fiddling involved, it must have taken some working out for your knife.

That is an amazing job. You must have a lot of patience. Looking at the bushing, so neat, and an overall professional finish. How did you get such a perfect finish on the wood after inserting the rivets ? Presumably you sanded/buffed the full length of the knife?

Very well done.

I wish I had the time to do things like that, I dont seem to have time to have wind at the mo!

.....the wood after inserting the rivets?

It's bone (not wood), if I have understood correctly? Good question though.

Wow.....thats good
Ive never had the patience to do anything like that

 

[squazy84]

The rivets are flared into the countersunk holes in the bone and filed and sanded flush with the surface, it's easy to mess up believe me I know , I was making this knife to give to an older knife maker I know in the us but the knife is not up to standard I'm afraid!

Very impressive.

Lovely job there, shame you're no longer allowed to carry it as you go about your 'lawful business' without jumping through hoops.

Very nice, how many hours would you say you have in that, and how many have you made before you reached that standard.

It's bone (not wood), if I have understood correctly? Good question though.

Looks like Antler to me
