a bit of my latest

#1

Post by butch »

the big deal is the fighter but you can see a few other blades in the one pic
all blades are 52100


the Ti is a nice blue but it has a bit of oil on it so it looks a bit off color in a few of the pictures
specs are 8 inch of edge and just over 13.5 inch over all
52100 blade that i hand forged (2nd forged blade ever) finished to 600 grit hand sand then light buffed
blue anodized Ti guard and spacer with stabilized quilted maple spacer and main
SS pin its light and fast

things i think i might change next time are
longer blade
and find some 1/8 inch Ti pin stock

I still have trouble reconciling the quality of your work with your youth. It looks like the stuff that you're putting out should be coming from a grizzled vet with vast experience. Really, really nice.

Good work. The handle shape is not for me but the wood looks marvelous.

Outstanding Butch. Very similar blade profile to Bill Bagwell.(intended as a compliment.)

btw- my Harner folder is still kickin' ***, it is my go-to hard work blade. Has yet to disapoint
me.

Keep up the great work.

Butch, could you show some pictures of your folder/folders? I thought I remember you showing one a long time ago, but would like to see more. :)

Very nice work, Butch. I like how you don't attempt to do too much with the styling; simple, yet elegent. It allows the workmanship to shine through.

Beautiful work!

I especially like the last one above the razor. Very classy and simple. Looks like a true outdoors user. Exactly how I like my fixed blades.

Very nice craftsmanship Butch, exactly what I aspire to be able to achieve, some day. Nice, tight and square, fit and finish, very enjoyable to look at and I'm sure far more impressive in hand.

Thanks Butch.
