Equal End Customs?

untytled said:
Not for all but there is a certain degree of difficulty to properly execute some equal end patterns. That some are reluctant to attempt.

Such as this single spring cigar. It's a pretty tight package.

Yeah it definitely looks like it would take a great deal of skill to pack all of that in there, and to do it well. I can understand not wanting to undertake something quite so challenging, but dang do they look good when done right.
 
Numerous beautiful examples here to race the pulse. I suspect that the reason they may be scarce is not the EE aspect but more the difficulty of executing a single-spring 2 blades. This and multi blades are going to be a load more costly to boot.

@waynorth Exceptional, some low joints too. Once again our friend Kerry pulls it off! @KnifeHead good thing you are back at the grindstone again, it's a life-sentence :cool:

Thanks, Will
 
I am not sure if they fit the "custom build", but I have made a few equal ends using Victorinox tools and backsprings

Nickel-silver bolsters and ox-bone

Dyed amber cow-bone and fluted bolsters

Brass bolsters and smoked oak.
They all have brass liners and rivets, except the nickel-silver which have nickel-silver in the bolsters, and they all have acid washed tools and back spring

I made this one for my sister. Nickel-silver bolsters and marble carbon scales. Brass liners.
Equal end is one of my favorite patterns, I think they are really classy and have the right vintage vibe of old Swedish Eskilstuna knives that I love :)
