This is one of the three I finished last week. It got bumped up in my order list to try a new technique Burt Foster recommended. He suggested I use liners on my integrals (Thanks Burt). The one I'm working on now has Stag and I really didn't want to mess up $100 stag trying a new technique. I have lots of Amboyna and don't mind if I screw some of that up.

Specs are: Forged 52100 integral with a 4 3/4" blade, Sheffield clip, stabilized Amboyna, black liners, and 3/32" domed NS pins. OAL - 9 1/2"

Hope you like it.

Mike, your work is just soooo crisp and clean. Integrals leave no room for anything to be even a little bit "off". This one is totally "on". Well done.

VERY nice work...!
Integrals just don't leave much room for fudgin'...and it
looks like you didn't need any.
 
I spotted this honey a few days ago looking through MIke's album. My eyes popped out of my head--like a cartoon! :eek:

Didja happen to see that intentional hook at the bottom end of the handle? I love how Mike tosses in these little things which stop you dead in your tracks to observe closer.

Nowadays LOTS of makers are making clean knives. It's the little style things that will make a purchasing difference. Pay attention. :)

:thumbup:

Hey Mike, thats a real beauty, very nice and flowing lines. Love the Amboynya, is that a piece off that huge chunk you were telling me about?
 
The ol' construction paper liner? ;) Burt's a knifemaking encyclopedia, and always very generous and willing to help.

Well that knife came out beautifully Mike. Really really nice
