Making a Titanium Frame Lock with Logan Gillihan (Northwest Bladeworks)

Hey Everyone! This is a shorter version of the first half of making this Titanium Frame lock with Logan Gillihan (Northwest Bladeworks). The longer tutorial version is on my Patreon ( / freehillblades . Go join to support the business and access over 50 videos on how I make the knives I make. There are videos on Damascus, san mai, hand forging a knife, integrals, etc. You gain access to all these tutorials and there is a new video every month.
Part 2 will be finishing out a folder like this (grinding the blade, handle scales, clip, and etching the Damascus).

We got the scales cut by www.sendcutsend.com and I was fairly happy with the quality. The cut was a tiny bit rough so we had to sand the lock bar face before setting the lock face on the blade.

As a Patreon supporter it is totally worth it. I've learned so much from Curt. If I could afford one of your folders bro I'm going to try to get one.

Thanks so much for the video brother, enjoyed watching both folder video's, on YT and Patreon. I was wondering if you were planning to go to Blade Show Texas this February, and If so, I was hoping you could stop by my booth, chat a bit, and get some free handle material, I don't know my booth number yet, but I will keep you posted, if your interested. God bless you, and have a nice day.
