Mick Maxen Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I have made a few of these recently with riveted pivots but getting the action right is very tricky, so I have used a threaded pivot pin and nylon washers which has made a world of difference. Smooth as silk now. The blade is approx 3" and about 6 1/2" overall. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Longmire Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Show-off. (I can get away with that, Mick is a friend.) Now then: Mick! How have you been? This combination of the simple with the absurdly complex (that mark is part of the pattern, folks...) is brilliant. I like it, in other words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven smith Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 i really like what you did with the tail of the blade, the scroll part, i havent been able to get something i like out of that part of a friction folder. and the makers mark fits the blade very well, like if it were stamped or just etched it would stand out too much.

Joshua States Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 That is probably the nicest and most practical friction folder I have ever seen. You should visit more often Mick. “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it. I've been there before.” The only bad experience is the one from which you learn nothing.
