Lonnie Williams steampunk folder is one fast, loud auto.
As the eighth entry saluting my addiction to steampunk folders, Steam Hunk is a giant, 2-pound, all-damascus auto. It’s powered by a standard leaf spring as well as two coil helper springs. It’s fast and loud!
Of the 48 individual parts, 18 move. I just can’t do the glued-on gear thing. The blade fires by a palm-activated rocker lock with the safety switch at the left rear. Steam Hunk represents about 300 hours of work and 32 square inches of damascus.
