first slipjoint

Salolan · Oct 2, 2015

Well, it's no Don Hanson masterpiece, but here is my latest knife and first ever slipjoint.
1080 blade and backspring, 3.75" closed, 6.75" open, 410 SS liners, G10 scales and 416 SS pins.

2 weeks ago at ICCE all I had was a sketch and I decided I was going to get 1 made before the Heartland Bladesmithing Symposium this weekend. I know 1080 isn't the optimum steel choice, but it was all I had time to get it finished with. I'll also add that Steve Culver's tutorials were paramount in my success with this build.

Thanks for looking,
Chris
