Thumbs up New flipper

Here's my brand new flipper.

3 1/2" x 5/32" CPMS30V blade.

4 3/4" long closed.

Tip up carry.

Damascus bolsters and clip are heat blued.

Heat colored screws are brown or blue.

Beautiful bone scales.

Blue anodized liners.

Machined clip.

The blued damascus doesn't show up in my bad photos, but it's there.

Should I get Paul Long to make a belt pouch for this?

It's a big knife.

I"m not usually a fan of flippers, but I REALLY like this one.

Maybe you should rather go for a backpack

Nicely executed Sir.

do flippers have springs?

Don, you did your usual great work on the folder. I really like it. Is this the pattern that you posted Christmas before last. I have not made one yet but plan on doing so after I get a few others out of the way.
Thanks for sharing,
Curtis

I would advise you not to ever buy one of my knives. They usually come apart after about 2 weeks. If you want a good knife buy it from your local hardware store.
