Clip point traveler - Jeans

[navman]

Just finished this one in a new to me handle material, denim canvas micarta! I got a few pieces from AKS, and was a bit...concerned, as it burns very easily on the belt, but hand sands beautifully! This material is notably darker than the blue linen i have been using. Paired the denim with natural linen liners and copper hardware to enhance the feeling of a well-worn pair of jeans. The blade is S90V, 3 inch blade length and high hollow ground with a thin edge and unsharpened swedge. Heat treat by Peters to 61-62 HRC. the pattern is like a Buck 110 and a Case trapper had a baby. Stock is 1/8 inch and has an overall length of 6.75 inches. I gave this one an eagle carbon fiber and brass accent pin.

Rides in a hand sewn leather pocket sheath with some tooling.

Fantastic!! Man, your sheathwork is looking really good these days, Josh!!

Amazing clip point as well. I like the bird pin touch!

 

[SharpBits]

I think Josh hit the afterburners!

 

[SwissHeritageCo]

Agreed on the sheath! Really special stuff Josh, all around.

Thanks guys! The sheath was fun to make..the back stitching was...interesting.

Neat material, I like how loose the weave in your top view shot is....Cool
Good Job!

 

[navman]

It really is kinda cool. If I reverse the material I can get a lighter...aged look.

Love it! What are your thoughts on doing an exact copy but scaled up to a 4 -5” blade?

 

[navman]

Not out of the realm of possibility.

 

[Dawkind]

Really like that…

This is my favorite of yours and I like most all of them. What a neat package!!

Got another Traveler similar to this, but a drop point, that needs a handle, debating on using the same material or some crosscut vintage linen with red liners.

This one is so great. Is it also S90V?
