What was hard about it? I don't know because I have never made a folder. It looks good, by the way.

I admire anyone who has the patience for making folders. I like to pound them out, sharpen them and stick a handle on! When I received an order for a Tom Brown style tracker I had to make 2 just in case. Getting the tricky little curved hollow and plunge grind was a challenge as well as a functional saw blade on the back! Next time I'll advise to order the real thing as I should have charged a lot more!

Very nice! I have yet to try to make a folder. Perhaps in the future I will give it a try. I'm sure it will try my patience. I am still trying to learn how to make straight back knives. I would however like to se some tutorials on making folders. maybe some of you guys will do that one of these days, Regards JR

That's a beaut.<br />
Since I don't make folders I've never tried a slip joint of any kind. However as har as fixed blades go Getting the grind right on an Ulu was a right pain not to mention forging the bevels and inside grind on a Korambit. Sorry for the bad picture on the Ulu I was trying to rush it to the new owner. It will be a while before I make another one as it cost me 7 stitches and a gouged grinder wheel.

I wasn't able to get it quite the way I liked since I had to finish it injured. The blade caught on the 600 grit belt and pushed it through my finger. at least it was so swarp at that point that I didn't notice I was cut till I reqached for the blade on the floor and saw the gushing blood.
