The overall flow on that one is perhaps the best I've seen of any folder...wonderful balance!  Excellent work all the way around!

Beautiful knife!....what's the hardest part in making a folder?
What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

You need a table full of those at a knife show.
Great job.

When the last buffalo falls on the plains,

Thanks guys

The hardest part Gene, is keeping everything absolutely straight and tight.
When Karl was showing me the final things about being a knife maker ,it was alot about everything being straight and true from square one to the end.Thats really holds true with folders

That's hands down the nicest folder I've ever seen!!  All of yours are top notch. Thanks for sharing the pics. Mike

Very nice Kevin! That's a sexy knife if you don't mind me calling it that!

Kevin, that's a beauty!

I can begin to appreciate the work and planning put into a folder as I am working on a very primitive friction folder using a whitetail crown.  I know it's much different, like comparing apples & oranges.
