It does Paul, took me a while to get it to but it locks out good

Thats a real eye catcher bub. Beautiful handle and blade, and the work looks flawless.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Wow Bub, that's a beauty. Very nice work all around, the spine is something special!
How did you get the black color on the spacers at the spine?
What finish or treatment did you use on the maple?

Simon i soaked the blade in ferric acid for a dark patina then i sanded it off the blade itself leaving the dark in the file work. I used a oil based maple stain two coats then several coats of tung oil

Right on,  nice blade and I like the fact that it folds.  I'am currently finishing up my second folding bow,. Why be one piece..... >:D
