Matthew McKenzie Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It's all ripply, like it's made of gelatin or water. I like that very much. MacGyver is my patron saint.

KPeacock Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Ulrich, I am very impressed with this folder. It has such a rugged and utilitarian look to it, yet it seems somewhat "pretty," for lack of a better term. Have you ever composed a brief tutorial on how you make these? I have never attempted to make a folding knife, yet I carry at least one folder with me all the time. I would love to carry a folder that I made. In the next year or two, I hope to have developed the skills required to make something like this. Thanks for sharing with us, Kris Have you ever thought about the life of steel? It's interesting to think that you can control the fate of a piece of metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MassArtTom Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'm not gonna lie, I think the welds on the handle could be alot cleaner. I dont think they lend themselves to the aesthetic at all unfortunately. :/ The blade is really well done though. Tempest Craft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Walker Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I realy like the overall feel and look of the blade. I would say though that a great way to hide the poor looking welding would be to ripple them so they look like the bakc of the blade and handle. It would cover up the poor looking welds and really compliment the overall knife.

Ben Potter Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Great looking folder. Ben Potter Bladesmith It's not that I would trade my lot Or any other man's, Nor that I will be ashamed Of my work torn hands- For I have chosen the path I tread Knowing it would be steep, And I will take the joys thereof And the consequences reap.

Giuseppe Maresca Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I like it a lot. The handle as an unusual, liquid look and the blade is beautyful. I like that kid of filework you have done on the back, it blends wery well with the handle and the overall look of the knife. I can't judge if the welds are poor or not, but here I suppose that they are made so to look like an amorphous blob with the handle, and their structural role in the handle is not so big, so I like them. Just curious.. is titanium welded with TIG or whatelse? Mourir pour des idées, c'est bien beau mais lesquelles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 This folder looks like it could have been in a Mad Max movie. The handle is supposed to look like that, just wild. The construction is very difficult because you do not have two liners. It is one piece and to get it smooth running and in the precision Uli is known for is not an easy task. I like it very much.

cwilliams Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Uli Thats really nice, I love how you joined both scales with weld on the spine therefore creating a one piece handle. I also love the abstract feel of it. I actually really like the way the handle looks, I like how you can tell how it was created if you know where to look and what to look for. This piece tells a story if one is inclined to listen. Chris Chris Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
