Eddy T. Elsmore custom slipjoint

[Mad_Maxx]

hey guys, here is my first custom slippie ever!

Eddy T. Elsmore
Sambar Stag and ATS-34
bolsters and liners are steel (satin/mirror)
3 3/4" closed (like a GEC #73)


has positive flush half stop, hand rubbed blade, spring and tang are flush as are the handles and liners
spring is not hard at all, I can pinch the blade open, walk and talk are great, snap is awesome and sound

it's been convexed, stropped on compound and I've redone the tip that was not sharpened
edge was thick now it's better bit will sharpen it again

hope ya like it

[comoha]

That's a handsome one for sure. You have great taste.

Hard to beat perfect matched stag and polished edge. Very nice!

sorry for posting the price, copied it from the italian forum and forgot while translating to delete the price note, in the italian forum we have no memberships and can post prices
by no means I wanted to SELL but only to give infos on what it was got for

my apologies, often forget to check well while cross posting

Very nice stag! It is a beauty for sure! Congrats!

 

[Mad_Maxx]

thanks Luciano, glad you like it

I've resharpened it again, cuts much better now
not a laser yet but very usable sharpness, nice plished edge, gave it a 5000 finish
I think it can be used without sorrows

Very pretty knife!

 

[Humppa]

The handle seems to be very thick. It seems to be a knife, that lies very good in the hand... I would be glad to carry such a knife...

Congratulations to such a beautiful cutting-tool!

Kind regards from the southbavarian hills...

[Knife Crazied]

Very nice. I really like it.

 

[Mad_Maxx]

hey guys!

forgot one thing, what could this one be called??? a "bullet" a "trapper" or what?
don't have a name just "custom slipjoint"...

I've searched a bit and it looks like a bullet trapper with single blade, like the GEC#73 and some old remingtons, looking at the handles at least

thanks for the help
Maxx
