First slip-joint for 2009

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

Blade is 3in made of 1080 and differentially heat treated. I polished the blade so you could see the Hamon but did not etch it to bring it out, it's subtle. The bolsters are satin finished 416 stainless and the scales polished black buffalo horn. Liners are titanium and have been anodized bronze. Spring sits flush in all 3 positions and I indexed all the screws. Overall length is 7 inches.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

Nice looking slip!

I like the fact you indexed the screws. As a custom stockmaker all screws (buttplate, trigger guard, grip cap screws) would be indexed. I see plenty of high end folders that use screws and they are not indexed.

a very nice looking knife and I like the attention to detail which has already been pointed out.
Any thoughts on dovetailing the bolsters, Chuck?

You have made some of the most beautiful non-traditional slipjoints that I have seen.

That is an excellent looking pocket knife. The blade is very nice.
