Note: I am certainly not the next Steven Spielberg. My son and I did this and I'm pretty happy with how it came out, but technically, it's not perfect. That's why I'm only charging $24.00. I'm going to give myself a B plus on this particular project.  All told, I'm pretty sure you'll like it and I guarantee you just might learn something.

CEO
The CEO is a  new  folder design from Tim Britton of Linville Knife and tool. A great companion to the popular Day-Ops and Night-Ops. Who says a hard working folding knife can't be dressy?  8" overall with a 3/12" blade made from AUS-8, tempered to an RC58 hardness. T6 aircraft aluminum frame, the lacquered scales can be assembled  as received or used as  a pattern for your own decorative wood scales. This is the first time I've seen Tim use a thumb disk on the spine for easy, one handed , left or right hand opening.  Assembly is easy, but set aside a full night for this. You'll need T6 and T8 Torx screwdrivers. Click HERE for a picture of the backside pocket clip .

Tim Britton / Linville Knife and Tool
Looking for the Tim Britton designs I used to have on the Specials Page? Due to the popularity of this series and the expansion in the number of models carried, I gave this great series of folders and fixed blade designs their own page.  Click HERE 
 
Carbide Rasps
Nothing, with the exception of diamond of course, is harder than carbide. I use these carbide rasps in my rotary Moto-Tool to "whittle" handles to shape, including the metal guards. You might also find them extremely useful in enlarging pin holes in hardened knife blank handles. When you want to use a 1/4" pin but only have a 1/8" hole, these are a lot easier to use than drilling. Surprisingly hard ,  durable and useful.
