Folders

My primary effort is toward perfecting my ability to make an excellent slip-joint folder. My folders are made from start to finish in my shop by myself. I like to work with ATS 34 and I am starting to work with Crucible Steels new CPM 154. I cut my blades and springs from flat stock,hollow grind my blades, and do my own heat treating. I temper my blades to a Rockwell 60 and my springs to Rockwell 45. I use either nickel silver or 410/416 stainless for liners and bolsters. Handle materials of choice are Micarta, stabilized woods, bone, ancient ivory, or man made composites.
