Custom Slipjoints

Dang one handed openers.

Let's keep it clean in here :D.

Erick and JB,

That swayback looks great.

JB,
Talked with Johnny, it is antique shell.
 
Gus, I saw it on his table at Blade, but Johnny was busy with a customer. He had some sweet knives. Thanks, JB
 
As far as established makers that I have seen getting on the traditional trail recently, Johnny and Mike Zscherny have hit the ground running as far as their quality.
 
After the show booty.

Got the Barlow in, much better than the pictures show. Great snap and pull on Blades.

Great Grab, Gus! What a Beauty, Mike! Perfect image, Jim!
Thanks for sharing, Gus!
 
Gus, I am really liking the slipjoints coming from Mike. And, a Coop image is the next best thing to being there.

The next best thing to not being able to attend Blade this year is to pick up a slippie that was there:

I really like Mike Zscherny's slip joints. Coop also took a picture of a swayback and back pocket that Culpepper snagged at Blade.

Joe, I had the Halfrich shadow in my hands several times at the show. I'm glad you ended up with it.
 
Thanks again Mike! :)

I owe you a big favor - was so impressed with Mike Z.'s work that I ordered another one on Friday morning at Blade for next year.
I had always admired his work on upscale folders and he just brought along his talents into slip joints. Fit/Finish and action is superb on his work.
 
Heck, Gus. I had just met him a little bit before you did. It was good that he stopped by Tony's room so we could all CE and CF his knives. I'm glad you got one. I really like the swayback of his that I got.

I'm on Mike's list as well. I can think of one other BF member who recently scored Zscherny knives. Maybe he'll post them in here.
 
I just went back an looked at all the knives in this thread! My eyes are watering, and my head is spinning; this is just an incredible collection of traditionally-styled handmade beauty!! What a rich history of knifemaking, in such a short time. It seems like Blues just started this thread a couple of months ago; I just went back and looked. It's about six months.
We must preserve this thread for our rocking chair days!!
 
Mike

Guess that this may be a hint for me to get off my duff and post that great little gem that arrived in my mailbox after Blade!

Its truly a gift to have friends like you and Master Culpepper!!!

As a bonus, i am also posting a second from Mike Zscherny that i was somehow connected to by a fellow with the initials MR?

Both knives are fantastic examples IMHO opinion of a knife maker who is really producing some terrific knives.

Great looking knives Rick, now go get a cloth and get the fingerprint off that stag shield. Great pics too.:D
Jim
Just kidding, I hope to goodness that shield is not ruined forever, why not just send it to me, I will clean her right up.
I will even pony up for the postage.

I was clutching it sooo tight for sooo long that the finger prints are embedded in the shield. When i can afford postage, i am sending it back to Mike for a buff job!
Nice to be able to count on you to be a wise guy;)
 
Some awesome knives being displayed in this post-Blade extravaganza! :thumbup: :cool:

A veritable bevy of beauties.
 
I had to shake that black bone knife off of my hand at Blade. That teardrop is drop dead gorgeous too. Thanks for posting 'em.
