Title: Hunting Folder #1
Post by: Kevin Evans on August 19, 2011, 11:05:00 AM
Been getting few e-mails about not posting ,so here 's what I've been doing. Thought maybe you guys would like to see what's inside one of these and what you start with so I have a few pics.
It's not completly done as I haven't anodized the liners yet but will this weekend and then it will be over in sponsor classified.
It has stainless screws ,dyed Girraff bone handles.Titanium liners,damascus bolsters  (that I made)o-1 steel,file work liners,about all I can think of now.LOL
This is the first one and I will try and make one every week for the next few weeks.at least untill I get better at it.LOL
Here's the pictures enjoy and as always constuctive critsism is welcome.
I'll start with what it looks like when you get materials together and I noticed already I left out the Damascus bolsters (oh well)
then the pieces before you put it back together for the 100,000 time (LOL seems like that many times)  (http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn293/coonpeter/IMG_1799.jpg)

Wow Kevin That is Beautiful, great job on your first! I love how the grays really flow together.
I have been wanting to start doing some folders since that is what I carry 99% of the time. Not sure really where to start, I guess I need to just jump in and start.

Very nice!! It turned out as good as my first child -- and with a LOT less time and money.

Just kidding. My son is the best! However, the knife really is great.
