At last we get a peek at what's going on!:thumbup:
After some minor setbacks, production is ramping up!!
Here are some matched handles, ready to pin to the liners:
These are catch pieces, which allow different thickness blades to operate on a single spring:
Our blades, heat-treated, cleaned up and ready for further ministrations!
The Schrade-heritage Shield, hot off the press!
An action shot! Some blade dressing going on!
And finally, a comparison shot to show the main blade before and after swedging!
I'm getting excited!!!
Get your order in!!

No half stop! Is the half stop like on some SAK's where the blade stops at 90°?

I don't know if I'm naive or just really, really new to slip joint patterns, but what are the two blade styles? Clip point and...? I'm guessing wharncliffe?

It will be interesting to see how the wood shines up.
Thanks, Will

I'm honestly getting excited. I don't know why the sudden switch in knives for me. Maybe it's the simplicity. Can't wait!

Well done sir, I can imagine! A few years ago this was a non-starter for them.

I'm looking forward to the knife too. Getting "excited" is all part of the fun. I do prefer a half stop, but I'll live on that front. In my case, this knife probably won't get used anyway. Yes, clip and wharncliffe blades.

I also can't wait to see how the bocote polishes up. I've never had any first hand experience with the stuff. All I have to go by is pictures. I really liked how there was a lot of variation between slabs.
(fingers crossed for a dark one)

Half stops is something that didn't really cross my mind and it's a non issue for me. Premium double-end jacks often don't have them.
This combination of blades on a single spring is my ideal combination and unforunately there aren't very many... even fewer on a serpentine frame... and I can't think of any that are shadow patterns. It's a unique knife. The blades look great. The Schrade heritage shield is a nice touch. This knife will be going in my pocket as soon as I receive it!
