any interest in a kith this summer? (names have been drawn)
Mr. Woolery:
Update on my progress:
Dieselcheese, if you don't want a friction folder, I'll keep this for myself and send you a puukko that I forged on the same day. Honestly, I couldn't say whether the picture of the hot steel was this blade or the puukko, as they were from the same forging session. But I like this one better.
Here is the trial-fitting of the pieces. I'm using maple for the handle because it is a very stable wood that I know and trust. Not as fancy to look at as some, but I love it for its utilitarian value. Once the handle finish cures, I will work on peening the pins. It may be ready to go as early as Wednesday.

Really cool, Patrick, looking good. I could go either way honestly, it's like trying to pick out which puppy you like more from a litter.
Mr. Woolery:
Well, if you have no preference, I will send the folder. It is the knife I intended to send you anyway.
Patrick
Mr. Woolery:
I will have to PM for an address. Here's the finished knife. It is ready earlier than anticipated. I really like this one. I hope you do, too, Dieselcheese.
