Bill Kennedy Jr. 2 3/4" slipjoint

[Railsplitter]

I just received this little gem today from a forum member and I wanted to share some pics. I had been wanting a nice, small, custom slipjoint to carry as a backup to my Case Stockman. I was considering asking one of the knifemakers to make one for me and then I saw this one by Bill Kennedy Jr. and that was all she wrote.

2 3/4" closed
ATS-34 blade steel
416 SS integrated liners/bolsters
Genuine brown jigged Utica bone scales
Sunken joint
Half stop

I am sorry to say that I had never heard of Bill Kennedy Jr. until I saw this knife. You can bet your sweet bippy that Bill will be getting an email from me after I have carried it for a few days. I also want to learn more about his knives and his methods.

I could not be happier! This is the type of knife I was looking for and I feel lucky to have stumbled accross it. The craftsmanship is superb!

Now for the pics:
