These friction folders are not work horses they are classy gent pocket blades, this one happens to be a cap lifter too.

Interesting. I figured it wouldn't be a "workhorse" but that's alright. This could be a really awesome gift to myself for graduating Boot camp. It'd probably be finished when I'm there. Hm. I"ll have to see if he can engrave.

I had him engrave my initials on the blade. He does it by hand, it isn't pretty like a machine but I can appreciate it more that way.

Went with the brown (like Shane's) and asked him to intial "MAC" into the blade as well. Also shot him a question, as there is a blue wood one on his gallery that I love...we'll see.

I am sure he will be able to take care of you, he can do almost anything.
I may be submitting a completley custom design for him to make eventually.

Got my response back from Michael Morris. The blue is not a micarda and not strong enough for the side stresses...so brown it is. Ordered!! Now...sit and wait the 120 days.
