A few words about my folders.
The "standard" list includes pattern welded and mosaic damascus that I make myself, titanium for liners, ivory of one sort or another, as well as pearl, and some other natural materials for scales. All screw together construction, and a great deal of care and pride in the construction and quality of the knives. These are meant to cut, and are made of materials and heat treated to provide a lasting and durable knife that will be a cherished possesion for generations to come (provided of course, that they recieve reasonable care, they WILL rust if neglected).
These are all works of 1997, and are all in the hands of collectors, but they are representative samples of my work, and provide an illustration of the styles and materials that I normally work in.

All damascus folder, multiple bar composite blade, nickel and wrought iron frame/scale, with a damascus spring insert for the "liner lock" style locking mechanism. This is a very thin piece, less than 1/4" total thickness.
Two bar twist blade, mosaic bolsters, titanium liners, and gold lip mother of pearl, it is a slipjoint, non locking tiny folder.
Four bar twist blade, mosaic bolsters, titanium liners, mammoth ivory. The steel in this blade is 52100 with just a trace amount of nickel shim stock added to the stack in the original billet layup (less than 1% by volume). This knife has been carried on a daily basis by it's owner (good personal friend of mine named Joe Straley), and has seen much use beyond what could be considered "normal" for a knife of this price range. Happily, it has held up very well to everything that Joe has done to it, and the only real change has been the loss of the anodizing color from the titanium liners
