This is a slip-joint with an easy pull, I just finished it up. This is a copperhead pattern. The blade is 3-1/8in long, 1/2in wide at the widest and 1/8in thick made of 1095. The bolsters are 416SS and the scales are amber jigged bone. Titanium liners and stainless hardware. The overall length open is 6-7/8 and closed it is 3-3/4in. Great walk and talk with precision fit and finish. This knife is screw together construction and has relieved liners.
Price is $455 shipped.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

Chuck, this is a very nice looking knife. My custom folder collection is all Traditional patterns, but this one is tempting.
What is the thickness across the spine: outside scale-outside scale ?
i'd like to see how slender it is and can compare this measurement with knives i have.
Do you make Pen knives ? Wharncliffe Pen ??
thanks, roland
 
Very intriguing and unique knife, I love it... except the that at this price range I would expect something more than a 1095 blade. Nonetheless, great knife at just the right size.
 
Thanks for the replies.

Regardless of the type of steel used, it takes the same amount of time to build the knife. There are many collectors and users who like a high carbon blade steel.
 
Well ground and properly heat treated 1095 makes an excellent user blade for those who prefer non stainless.
The steel type is less important than the skill of the knifemaker in creating great blades.
