another slip joint

[D.Ellis]

Finished this one up today.
Interior mammoth, O-1 steel with ferric chloride etch. Nickel silver pins, shield and liners......bronze "washer"
4 1/8" closed......3 1/4" blade.  Half stop. Good walk and talk, and flush in all three positions. Shield is pinned.
Comments and critique are welcome as always.

Very nice Darcy, I like that a lot.            Wish I had time to play with some slip joints...

[frank bullitt]

Yes, very nice!    

I think anyone would love to carry and use that!

I like that one a bunch    Can I ask what you put the thumb nick in with?
I struggle with those.

Thanks. I use a 7 inch abrasive cuttoff wheel in an arbor in the drill press.......holding the blade with a cross slide vice.
I plan to start pressing some of them in when I finally get a shop press. Then I can do long pulls and match strike nicks etc.

Nice looking folder.

Very nice. !!  Looks like it would just disappear in the pocket....until you need it.

I've been getting the bug bad to try a slip joint and studying as much as I can. I've also been trying to talk myself out of it because I'm super busy as is but in order to get better a fella has to be willing to grow.

These pocket knives are absolutely awesome examples Darcy.

Thanks Todd. They are fun to make......but a bit time consuming. You could build several hunters in the same length of time for sure.

What an awesome blade man. You have a real eye for everything you make.
