New friction folder, this one with a bottle opener

This is a commission for a friction folder incorporating a bottle opener on the tang. The client wanted a short blade, very sharp, with filework and a nice wood for the scales.

The dimensions: 5" long (127mm) closed , 6 1/4" (160mm) open  and the cutting edge is 2 3/8" (60mm). The wood for the scales is quilted Mahogany, lovely bit of wood. I only have enough left over for another set of scales now. The steel is 01 tool steel. All the parts are brass except the steel liners. Everything is made by hand including the washers.

These little knives are lovely and  I like to make them but they are fiddly and time consuming to make right. I thought you might like to see all the bits that go into them:
