Finally finished my first folder a couple days ago. Gave me a whole new appreciation for what Kevin Evens did figuring these things out without an experienced teacher looking over his shoulder. Gotta say a big thanks to my buddy Jon Christensen for coaching thru the intricacies of the Liner Lock Folder, he's a great teacher.

My Damascus and some of the Mammoth ivory I picked up on our trip to AK last December.
   
   
Thanks for looking.

She's a beaut, Doug.
I know you're proud of it.
I sure would be.

When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

That knife has a warmth that just looks like your friend who wants to go to the woods with you. Love everything about it. Congradulations.

Outstanding Doug. That's a sweet looking folder

Boy that mammoth has beautiful bark on it!

Thanks Guys, really appreciate it. It's a rare knife I build that I think "I'm never getting rid of this is one" but this baby qualifies. With out a doubt my new EDC.

Doug, what are the dimensions on that beauty? Enquiring minds want to know!

She's just under 3 7/8" closed, blade is 3 1/8" making it 7" open.  

Everything came out perfectly centered and true.
 

Even had a stencil made since my bear track is a little large for these folders.
