Out of the norm

[balibalistic]

After some excellent guildance from Charles Marlowe,i figured i'd might as well give the insert thing a shot!

Nothing Fancy,i just wanted to keep it simple as to not overwhelm myself.but all in all everything went smooth and just how i'd hoped :)

Blade: ATS-34 3/16" Thick
Handles: 6AL4V Titanium
Spacers: 6al4v Titanium
Latch: TI
Clip: TI

3.2" Blade with OAL 7.5.

Handles are solid titanium with machined/dovetailed inserts of black g-10.
This knife has standard pivot assembly as i did not want to complicate it with (ikbs).and i'm outta counterbores.i do plan to make more in the future using bushing construction.they'll have that old school swing

I'll try for better pics tomorrow as i just finished it and had no bench space for good pics

Very nice, I like it alot. You should try some fiddleback maple on one, that would look nice.

That's amazing. I would be interested in a Ernie style tanto version of this.

A very solid, good looking knife.
