I assume it is safety-less?
Re: Custom switchblade
Nice. That seems like a very reasonable weight to me.
That’s ounces, right? Not kilos?

Have you got a pic showing it from the side?
How thick is it?

Re: Custom switchblade
I've seen Liam's work on the FB groups, and it is impressive. Where's he located, or did you say and I just missed it. Just curious if he's state-side.
Seems a proper built blade indeed.
The Pakistani guy I mentioned is Muhammad Afaaq. He runs a group there called Afaaq's Switch Blades. The pictures of his work are pretty sweet. I brought him up because I had noticed while there the other night that some of his work had landed and is in hands here. I'm always a little suspect when guys OUTUS show up on FB with pics and reasonable prices but he seems legit. I thought maybe yours may have been done by him.
I will say, I've yet to be disappointed with anything I've seen from Liam online either. I may have to reach out with an order myself somewhere down the road if the Italian market continues to dry up!
Congrats on the sweet custom!!
Peace. Scott.

Re: Custom switchblade
No doubt if he keeps with it his name will be very popular and work in high demand. I'm not on FB regularly but I went back last night and reviewed most of his posts, and work, and remain very impressed. As I commented on one of the posts, we need more guys like him, young bloods who aren't just obsessed with mimicking Benchmade and such but also work along the traditional stiletto lines. I'm becoming very concerned that the style I consider as high art is becoming passe. And with there seemingly being less made overseas then it's all the more important that we have guys like Liam producing knives. It's either that or I have to start embracing Benchmade, Pro-Tech and Micro-Tech, and begin collecting those.

Re: Custom switchblade
I designed this knife to be an everyday working knife, I much prefer leaf spring fired switchblades, I've tried plenty of plunge lock coil fired knives from Boker, Buck, Gerber, Benchmade all of which are fine work knives but are completely sterile and void of any life, plus they just don't give me the same feedback when fired as leaf springs do.
So what we came up with is a utilitarian switchblade for everyday carry and use, Liam made it exactly as I asked and what he's made is a handcrafted piece with a soul and personality made to work a lifetime and then some,
