Bob Ouellette Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 This is a little folder I just finished up. It has a 2 3/4" long blade and is 6 5/8" long when open and 6 1/8" long when closed. The handle is 3 pieces of copper plate riveted together with copper wire. It has a 4th copper pin to limit the movement of the blade. One side has a little bird chased into the surface and the other side has my maker's mark stamped into it. I now have a new respect for the people that make folding knives.

Giuseppe Maresca Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Very nice Bob; I will make a similar one, but with a shorter "tail". Nice scyte(sp?) too. Mourir pour des idées, c'est bien beau mais lesquelles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ouellette Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 I like your folders very much, Bob ! I would try to make one too....may I ? Jacques, please do make one! I am not the person who came up with the idea for this type of knife, I only take the idea and put my own little twist on it I am thinking of using some reposé techniques to decorate the copper. Scot, that is a drawing I did that will be going into a game book. In return for the drawings, they will put my information about my knives in there Bob O "When I raise my flashing sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will take vengeance upon mine enemies, and I will repay those who haze me.

Bob Ouellette Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thanks Jake! I'll be sure to keep that in mind, though I'm trying to get a hang of this precision hole drilling thing... what a PITA! Really makes you appreciate the work that guys do on these type things.
