El Lobo #1- Folding slip joint

[Joe Allen Knives-2017]

Hi to all, Haven't posted for a while so today I'm presenting my new knife El Lobo. These pic's are not the greatest -spur of the moment outside. I have added some new photo's since when I first posted . The knife is 4 3 /16 " long closed and 7 1/4" open. The Handle scales are Box Elder stabilized an Cpm -154 stainless- for the spring an blade .Cryo Treated -and final temper 60 -61 RC You should get a few good pic's to see what future ones will look like. Texas knifemaker Ruffin Johnson made this style in a lock back, an I switched it over to a slip joint , so to honor his work an creation I named it El Lobo after some of his knives were El Lobo Solo. Ruffin Passed away in 2011 and I always loved his hunters which were and still are beautiful . joeallen@me.com for questions.
