I haven't posted in quite some time as I am a part time maker but I was fortunate to have a bit of extra time and a collector contact me about making some slip joints. I thought I'd share the final product. The collector requested a Zulu spear and a Lanny's clip, which were new to me, so I drew up some patterns. I learnt a lot on these, so thanks to the Canadian collector for the opportunity. Thanks for looking

Great lookin' knives, even if you're from Canada. Just kiddin' beautiful work, did you forge the Damascus yourself or did you use premade stock?
 
Thank you for showing! I have a sweet spot for the slipjoints and i know how difficult it is to make them work and look good.
I like very much yours, and the stag zulu is my favorite :)
 
Thanks so much everyone! A milling machine is now on the shop list, so I can make nice nail nicks and shields.
