A more standard slip joint

[Jason Fry]

I took an order for a couple of slip joints, so I made this one as practice. It's much more of a traditional pattern than the long skinny bladed affair I posted earlier this week. 154 CM and natural canvas Micarta with brass liners and pens, and bronze washers. 3.5 closed, 6.5 open. Smooth cam action with good walk and talk. Not perfect, but a solid handmade knife.

Nice work Jason. Keep at it!

Not perfect? Must not be far off! That really looks excellent to me. What is that, a 2.75" blade or so? What's the steel? That's something I think any fan of a quality knife would be proud to own.

 

[Jason Fry]

Blade is 2.5. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and my own worst critic. Steel is 154 CM. 60 RC on the blade, with cryo, 48 on the spring, all my work.

Extend the spine and that is a good looking knife.

It looks really classy!

I like the brass liners especially.

Looks really good and I bet it's a great slicer. :thumbup:

Has a very nice look to it and the handle shaping looks spot on to me. Appears as though it'd be a good daily carry.

Good work!

 

[Greenbuttskunk]

That looks sharp (no pun intended)!
