Frank Barnes 43 Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Here are a few folding knives I have made lately. They also double as a flint striker. Blades are 1084 and frame is 5160 Edited November 11, 2019 by Frank Barnes 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ Chalifoux 32 Posted November 11, 2019 Those are really, really nice. They're a great mixture of rugged and clean. I've never had the urge to make a folding knife until now. Well done! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Longmire 1,922 Posted November 11, 2019 Those are pretty slick, Frank! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conner Michaux 169 Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) That is very cool! I am gonna have to make me one of those now. I never knew a Brute de forge texture could look so clean. How comfortable are they to hold? Edited November 11, 2019 by Conner Michaux 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Will Wilcox 232 Posted November 11, 2019 Very cool! I really like them. Neat idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Barnes 43 Posted November 11, 2019 Thanks guys. I made probably a half dozen prototypes before I figured this out. I had people asking for striker/knife combos so I figured I kill two birds with one stone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary LT 45 Posted November 12, 2019 Frank, this is a unique concept, Kudos! and much appreciated to share. Certainly has a place for folks who want both striker and something with a edge. Gary LT 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raymond Richard 69 Posted November 16, 2019 Frank, I like the simplicity of this folder. Noticed the friction folders you had done on your other post. You've got a talent. The friction folders reminded me of this old how to book that Gene Chapman put out several years ago. It maybe something you already have: https://www.amazon.com/ANTLER-Building-Mountain-Folding-Knife/dp/B007HEA2OG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
