Well, sort of. I decided to shorten it because it was way too long to carry. It is better now. I am debating making it look a little better as is or making new wood handles for it. I really like it but it's just way too long.

I love them, a great way to make yourself a custom knife

Any excuse to show off my oak handles

Hmmm, I'd be inclined to totally drop the handle and cord-wrap the tang to make it a small fixed blade of sorts... Heck, it would even have a hole (pivot) to pass the cord through to stabilize the wrap!

Any beater Svord owners willing to part with one of theirs?

I own a few different folders but these two make a great pair and tend to see the most pocket time.

Mind if I start calling you "enabler" (and other names)? Heh...

Let me put it this way: I'd never edc this, so it is delegated to my "wacky experiments" budget and thus limited to <€10... Hence, the call for a _beater_...

(yeah, I'm cheap, I know...

)

BTW it just dawned on me that friction folders are just small fixed blades with a rotating sheath... $:-\$

Sparky, those handles look nice. Are they shorter than the original? Did you shorten the blade as well? I don't want to polish mine, I like the rough look. It sharpens very easily.

@Nikos,
They call me worse things

I have boxes full of crap for "wacky experiments" and I do understand your budget (I feel guilty now

)
Friction folders are not too hard to make, I used old butchers/kitchen knives

Yep just a blade

@Trey
Thanks

Its just a little shorter
I got it second hand, I didn't like the scales or finger choil the previous owner had made so I remade it
The cutting length is less than 3 inches now because of the Choil which makes it legal to carry in the UK (in theory)
