My (3rd) attempt at a custom knife.
Been fiddling around on and off trying to make a knife over the past year. Most attempts ended up in the bin.

Re: My (3rd) attempt at a custom knife.
Fancy file work on the spine, something I never even tried! Please put up a few more?
What are the materials? I cannot see clearly, my guess is nickel bolsters.
What size is the knife?

Nice!
Folders are harder to make than fixed blade stuff.
I've done some fixed blade stuff with so-so results. You really have to be a perfectionist to make a good knife.

Looks good to me Phumba, coming from someone who loves and collects knives, but knows absolutely nothing about making them, not sure if it means much.
