The Gentlebug

[dialex]

Tired of big folders? Here's a suggestion - the Gentlebug <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> My smallest folder so far. Fitted with an oversized hole (almost as big as a Delica's), compression lock, backspacers, G10 scales and steel of your choice <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> It may come even with a clip! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

How do you like it?

Looks nice. Would buy one.

Looks nice, but I don't think the compression lock would be practical on it. It would be too hard to disengage, IMO, because of how small the release lever would need to be.

[vampyrewolf]

I find the best release of a compression lock to be holding the lock open, and wrist flicking...

don't think there's enough mass to do it on this model.

Another winner. Needs a ball bearing release.
Why havent they hired you in Colorado?

Alex,
Your imagination and graphic precision never cease to amaze me. I really hope someone in Golden is watching. Keep the great ideas coming!!

[cmassicotte]

Wow!!!

Alex - I think all your ideas are winners!... But this one is Great!

And friendly enough that it would be a sell for anyone.

Aside from your knife design skills, your artistic talent just amazes me... Good work, once again!

I got these lines in my face from trying to straighten out the wrinkles in my life

[J Smith]

Sort of like a G10 dragonfly.IMO it would be good with a lockback and PE.Nice design.

I learn something new everyday,even though I don't want to. Jeff

[Kahz]

Wow! Nice. You two would make a great team!

Dialex = Knife design
Simona = Ad design

Perfect! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Kahz, SpyderLady Galore!

[Sword and Shield]

Nice. Very nice, as a matter of fact. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I wouldn't worry about the lock type. On a knife this small, anything that holds the blade open will work.

Never underestimate the impossible.

[icebj¿rn]

Niiiiiice work!

The large hole is beautiful for those with bigger hands.

[Jazzman]

Looks kind of like a baby Goddard. Nice!

Beautiful knife! Would love to have one with the same dimensions as a Standard, preferrably with a liner lock. Reminds me of a small Emerson Commander with a blade hole.

[Knife Knut]

Is the hole big enough to put your finger through ala SPOT?
