So I am actually most of the way done with this now, but I though I would share a few pics in different stages. This is the first real folder I have attempted, so there has been a huge learning curve.
The frame parts are all 6al4v Titanium, and the backspacer is copper.
It is really just a simple Friction folder, but with a twist. I had the idea to use a large detent ball to hold the blade in the open position, I have never seen anything like that, but I am sure it is not totally a unique idea. It actually works quite well, kinda similar to a slip joint.
The blade is 1095 and will be finished with a nice hamon. I will post up finished pics hopefully later this week. Anyway here are a few progress pics. And feel free to let me know what you think.
