Title: Friction folder in the works/finished pics added

This is a friction folder I am working on. The blade is from an old saw blade, the handle is black walnut. I still have to final sand the handle and bevel/heat treat the blade.

I finished it up. I had alot of fun with this one! I ended up doing some file work on it. The handle is formbys tung oil that I actually "scrubbed" in with 000 steel wool 3 times. and buffed it all off when dry. it is silky smooth.

Woodsman, that is nice, and simple. But a challenge that is completely different from a fixed blade. Good job. Dan
