Frontier style NATO folder

[Shing]

Rustic bone handled folder with O1 steel blade and thick brass liners. Its got the base of a Nato 7.62mm cartridge case for shield. Just under 3 inch long blade.

I finished it with a fairly rough finish similar to other "primitive" or "frontier" style knives.

Almost very fitting .....Obama would have loved it I'm sure lol but it's fit for a king though very nice.

I do like that. Great little EDC, would live in my pocket quite happily, and looks like it could take the horrible abuse I give a knife.
Love the style of it, and love a bit of brass too.

Thanks guys, been carrying around today and refinished it to a smoother blade finish. Reminds me of an old knife I had as a kid. It was 99p in 1979 and kids could buy knives!

Yep, I used to carry a sheath knife in 1979, I was 12yrs and never stabbed anyone but built a hell of a lot of dens with it

Nice work as always Shing, neat use of cartridge case too.
