Finished the folder yesterday, in my favorite combination, brass and buffalo horn. This one turned out about as good as I can do, lock is very tight, no play in the blade, locking bar sets in same place with blade open or closed. Locking pocket is tucked behind liners and bolster. Worked on thinning this one down, blade stock was .1" stock thickness and bolster and scales are based on 3/16" stock thickness. the thinner frame limits how much I can round the bolster and scales but nothing comes for free. Any way I like it. I wish both buffalo horn scales would of had the same or more streaking in it but that is natural material you get what you get. This one is a large one at 8" total lenght blade is 3 1/8" long blade and locking bar are made from D2 tool steel handle is brass liners and bolster with buffalo horn scales and brass pins.
