Prototype all finished up. Left a little rough on purpose as I am going to put it through it’s paces. Integral carbon fiber liners and bolsters. 154cm blade and back spring. Antique Westinghouse micarta scales. It feels super light in the hand and pocket. If all works as it should for awhile, I will try it with a carbon fiber back spring ala David R. Davis.

Ready to glue up handle scales. All carbon fiber integral liners and bolsters.

Coming along nicely.
