    Default D2, Brass, buffalo horn, lockback folder.

    Finished the folder yesterday, in my favorite combination, brass and buffalo horn. This one turned out about as good as I can do, lock is very tight, no play in the blade, locking bar sets in same place with blade open or closed. Locking pocket is tucked behind liners and bolster. Worked on thinning this one down, blade stock was .1" stock thickness and bolster and scales are based on 3/16" stock thickness. the thinner frame limits how much I can round the bolster and scales but nothing comes for free. Any way I like it. I wish both buffalo horn scales would of had the same or more streaking in it but that is natural material you get what you get.

    This one is a large one at 8" total lenght
    blade is 3 1/8" long
    blade and locking bar are made from D2 tool steel
    handle is brass liners and bolster with buffalo horn scales and brass pins.

    Beautiful.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    This one is seriously flawed. You had better give it to me and I'll just tell everyone that I made it and spare you the embarrassment...

    No?

    Okay, okay...beautiful works as ever! I envy your skill and craftsmanship!
    There ain't too many problems you can't fix with $500 or a 30-06.
