Continuing along the theme of Folded Stainless Steel frames ... can you see the name of “Raptor” applied to this model?

7 1/2” AOL. BLACK and GREENS in FOSSIL SKEETER TUSK. Slip Joint Mechanism. Polished Stainless Blade here.

There are so many ways to make this. This particular knife found its way into my belt sheath last week. I love it. But I can only afford to love it up to about $648. $649 and you can love it.

How do you like the details?

Gary

I forgot to mention:

A real neat thing about these knives ....

A person could buy different handle sets. They attach with machine screws.

ORrrrrrr

A version of your knife could be made with handles AND/OR a clip. The oposum-bilities are ENDLESS!!! You too, could crawl around for hours, looking for little screws you swept off the table!!! Haha.

There are so many neat angles, nooks, and crannies. The knife just feels good in your hand.

Just like to hear your reactions. Thanks

The horizontal pic above, was taken prior to assembly. No front tension rivet or machine screws in the handles. It was just a neat angle for the handle scales. They look different at every angle.

Gary,

Very nice knife! Enjoyed seeing it come together. The Raptor part due to the shape of the blade? Shaped a bit like the claw?

Yes Pedro.

Thanks much.

It looks like a Talon to me. The blade shape is wicked sharp and pointy.

Great to see you. Hope your family and efforts are all very well.

I agree on all points . Great shape and small profile. It surly looks like a talon

Thanks

Right. I could have called it “Talon” but obviously there is an Airgun named that.

And you see, it’s the Raptor (The Beast - Pocketknife), which has the Talons (Claw - Blade). So I think my analogy is correct with the “entire knife“ being called “Raptor”. Hope that logic holds

I bet that is much sharper than a Raptor's talon.
Looking good, Gary!

Moving this to the top so you can see it again. This is a wonderful folder. I really like it, but it would be better with a friend. I’ll reprice this when I post the other one Im completing tonight.

I had some trouble. Drill bits in stainless steel that don’t cooperate. And broken off thread taps. It’s beennquite a rodeo of an afternoon. But it’s corrected. I’ll work until it’s posted. It’s 8:03 pm now
