Hi everyone,
those knives are great Mercedes, thank you for sharing the picture. I got hooked with knives in 2005 and being a machinist myself I think there are no better knives than Appleton's even if they use wire EDM machines. I know first hand how hard it is to work with tight tolerances, and I am sure that the amount of time to make only one knife must be very long, like many other people I don't have the money to buy one but I got a chance to make one for myself
it became I personal challenge I spent one year just inventing the mechanism. It is a seven position folder knife, made with Aluminum Bronce, Berilium Copper and S7 steel my favorite Appleton knife is called the Terrapin wich is another name for Turtle my favorite animal, if you guys want to see it go to youtube and type appleton knife, with my free time I have created some beutiful designs I wish one day I could bulid one knive with Mr. Ron.
Mercedes, I noticed that you have some knives with wooden handles, did you ever ask Mr. Appleton how to take care of them?
