I haven't posted here for a while as I've fallen a little behind on orders. It just didn't seem right offering knives for sale when customers with deposits were waiting for their overdue knives. This particular knife was for a customer who changed his mind as I was finishing it up
A heavyweight for sure, and a real handful. A Large Slip-Joint Folding Knife with a 3.25" blade. The blade and spring are of 3/16" thick 440C steel. Closed length - 4.5" Open length - 7.75" Fine, Belt-Satin finish, flat grind to a super-fine edge. Beautifully textured, polished "bark" Water Buffalo horn. Nickel Silver liners (relieved) and pins. Silver 1927 ten centavo escutcheon. Geometric pattern deeply file worked blade with thumb grooves. Hand stitched Yucatecan calf skin leather pouch. SOLD (including FedEx economical insured to US, Mexico or Canada SOLD to most of EU)
The knife opens with a hefty pull (not a nail-breaker, though) and snaps open and shut with authority. Can be pinched open. Backspring is flush open and closed and has no half-stop. Supplied shaving sharp.
I am a full time knifemaker working in Merida, Yucatan Mexico. I ship knives internationally on a regular basis via FedEx. I accept Paypal and credit cards.
I use almost exclusively local handle materials that I gather and mill or process myself. Dense tropical hardwoods as well as wild and ranched deer, cow, bull and water buffalo horns (this one is not local horn).
The silver escutcheons are made from old Mexican silver coins and are pinned through the liners. You can still see some of the surface irregularities of the coins. All of the pins are nickel silver and are hammered over and left slightly proud of the handle. The decorative file work and carving are precise and carefully done, but you can also see that it was done by hand I dont sand or polish the file-cuts.
