The Custom Damascus folder was a joint effort with my son Jeff, we hand hammered the Damascus in the 90's.
The Shrouded lockback was an experiment utilizing precision fit for lock-up rather than overpowering the lock with an extremely high powered spring as most makers utilize. It has a very small coil spring inside the frame, but locks in place effortlessly. I personally hate knives that take all of my strength to close.
The Bronze folder has it's own story ... the price as marked was the hospital bill that I had to pay for my own injury while engraving it. If you pay the bill, I'll give you the knife and provide the details...and yes, I have probably cut myself with almost every knife I have ever made. Call me clumsy, most people learn after one or two cuts. I actually have to be extra careful anymore, I have been on blood thinner since I had a stroke a few years back, I tend to LEAK at the smallest scratch. ( The term "leak" comes from the Startrek character "DATA" when asked if he bleeds. )

The frame of a folding knife must be capable of much abuse. Titanium scales are beautiful, but can double the value of a folding style knife. O-1 steel, 440-C, ATS-34 have been used successfully by me for many years, as well as 1095 steel. As you can see at left, I use abalone and bronze as well as anodized aluminum to add beauty to many of my folders and lockbacks. When I can locate it, a also use a fine pattern jig bone for scales. Smooth white bone and antique ivory both accept custom scrimshaw quite well. The mokume I make is often used as the complet knife scale, I can also make a custom mosaic pin for custom designs, as well as proprietary mosaic heads on assembly screws.
