I bought one of Ron Lakes' Factory made folders. This is the one I asked about a few weeks ago. It's been commissioned as a gift and there was a limited budget. I've been very pleased with the quality of the knife for the price but was surprised at how small it is in hand. The shape of the folder looks just like the expensive models he makes (without all the high end details and expensive materials). I do believe the gorgeous engraved ones we see on the forum are quite a bit larger. This only has a 2.25 in. blade.
Anyway, I've been struggling with the design. The customer wanted a traditional style but I have free reign on the final design. Please evaluate the rough sketches below. I've been looking at it so long, that I don't really see it anymore. Your suggestions are welcome and needed!
