It occurred to me that I can host a few photos of my customer's custom made knives on my web site, so here we are.

If you use "My Way" and/or my folder designs to build a folder, please contact me and I'll add as many photos as my web space will allow.

Contact Jean-Yves

Here's a lnerlock made with 'My Way" by Jean-Yves Dufrane of Meylan, Rhone-Alpes, France.

The knife has a 3 1/2" fileworked blade of ATS34, Ti liners, carbon fiber bolsters, and Pink Ivory handle scales.

Very nice, Jean-Yves. Thanks for sharing with us.

I'm a true custom knifemaker.

I'll make you a folder or fixed blade knife of any style, size, shape, etc. You can select one of my styles or send me a sketch or picture of the knife you want. It's all up to you, as long as it's a full tang fixed blade, linerlock, framelock, button lock or slipjoint.

I do all the work on my knives myself, including the heat treat unless the blade is too long for my furnace.

I especially enjoy making folders of all kinds, and I like making state of the art old style barlow linerlock pocket knives.
