Got the friction folder today.  Mr Woolery did a great job!  The pictures he posted just don't do it justice.  Light weight but a very solid  feel to it.   Opening and closing has just the right amount of friction, and well balanced in the hand.

Good job, sir!

Bubby, see page 6 of this conversation.  Down near the bottom of the page.

Glad you got it and like it, Dieselcheese!

Saw it now, nice work. I've made a few and you were spot on, those pins are the key I make a cardboard template to figure mine out

I been out of commission for a while but I am back now.
I did some more stock reduction on a couple blades last night and it sure was nice to sit and knap for a while. Plan is to make a few blades then pick the one that will work the best and put a handle on it and all.
I felt out of practice but they didn't break so I was happy.
This blade was made from a bifaced rock from the New Mexico desert

1442- those blades are truly beautiful.  I am so excited to see which one you end up choosing.  Of the three you showed on this topic, I could not pick one as preferable to the others.  They are all just fabulous.

Bubby - that handle is gorgeous!

I love that this exchange is giving people the reason to make something just to enjoy making it.  I know I was happy to do a knife that I didn't feel like I had to make to a pattern with the hope of finding a customer.  I made what I felt like making, knowing that what each of us was going to trade would be an example of our own aesthetic. 

I think I'll just consider myself part of every future kith, as long as folks will still have me.  It was fun to make the knife, it is inspirational to see what everyone else is making, and I love the low stress of it.

Thanks Patrick and Kevin. Wish I knew what the wood is, I bought an old burl clock for three bucks for the wood. I cut the best parts into bowl blanks for my son to turn. The wood has a sweet smell when working it
