Here's a couple of pics,although only from my phone.
first is a nice fixed blade
this is made from N690 (a cobalt rich knifemaking steel similar to 440c)
I really like the simplicity and ease of small pocketable fixed blade knives
it also has a bottle opener and some filework, its got an acid etch on it for now.
when I get it back from professional cryo heat treatment it will be for sale here with a kydex sheath rigged for neck carry





now here are 2 new liner locks I have recently started
they are ready for heat treatment
the blades are a beautiful 'Bjorkman' twist damasteel,stainless damascus
I lightly etched one to show the pattern
one has marbled carbon fibre that looks great
the other has Titanium scales

they also have Titanium liners and locking mechanisms with a 440c full back spacer
and a lanyard loop at the end

I really am happy with this shape
the ergonomics seem perfect for my medium sized hand
I still have a bit more work to go with these
I want to anodize or maybe heat colour the Ti



thanks for looking

any comments welcome

I'm a sucker for heat treated Ti, on an otherwise plain scale it can really make it stand out, I'm not saying your knives are plain, they are anything but, I just prefer the look of the colours that heating brings out in Ti.

thanks Steve
yes I agree heat colored Ti is very nice
it can be touchy to get the nice colors like blue and purple etc

ano gives better control but takes time and another process

so i will probably heat color

A package with up to three or four attachments for each blade .When the time comes for new blades remember to replace them in pairs . If one is worn out .
