Last one this year, slipjoint #11.
I'm realy liking the low point of a swayback. I may even try an etterick in '23.
Still learning to make these, also trying out some features.
M390 blade, WW2 rag micarta and anodised titanium liners.
It's a nice end-of-year gift to myself

I just received a custom from a relatively new knife maker Daniel Keown. I am thoroughly impressed with how clean and crisp everything is. He told me that he has made less than 30 knives to present. Daniel checked some micarta for this thin pocket slicer made of CPM154.

Beautiful knife! Beautiful pins on it

There is not a thing that I do not love about the top one. I especially like his shield choice. I am an all out sucker for green, so the bottom has my attention too. Very knice knives! I am glad I am not the only one who admires Keowns work.

At one time, I was determined to get a Harness Jack made by every Custom maker I admired!! I soon realized the financial strain was a bit much for me so I sold a few, and no longer own all of them, but it was a fun project; while it lasted!!

Thanks, Jason!! I thought you might like looking at those!!
Terry Davis saw my display of antique HJs at the Oregon Show, and came over to me with a wink and a nod, and offered to make me that matched set, with the Robeson-styled punches; then put a "shush" finger across his lips!! He wasn't taking orders at the time!!
My friends had to pick me up off the floor!!
