First Friction Folding Knife

This knife was my first attempt at a folding knife. I made it as a thank you to my dad for making the playground (first photo) for my daughter.
The blade is made from a worn out blade from his sawmill (bandsaw) which he used to build our cabin. the handle is curly maple scraps from his mandolin making. the pins are nickle silver and the pivot is drill rod. this knife was a lot of fun to make. the hardest part was working out the location of the pivot and stopper pins, so that the blade was in the desired location at open and closed. i also put a couple copper bushings at the pivot for the blade to ride on.
i learned a lot on this knife as usual! and i cant wait to make another folder!
