This is a large slip-joint folding knife with a 3-1/4" flat ground, belt satin finish Wharncliffe blade. Blade and spring are of 1/8" 440C steel.
The handle is Mexican Guayacan (Lignum Vitae). This wood is super dense and full of natural waxes. I get small logs of Guayacan from Guillermo Piste, a wood turner in the nearby pueblo of Dzitya, and mill it myself. Closed length - 4-5/8" Open 7-7/8" Nickel Silver liners and pins. Silver 1925 ten-centavo escutcheon. File worked thumb grooves. Handmade, deer skin pocket sheath. (SOLD) (including FedEx economical insured to US or Canada. $15 extra to EU)
The knife opens with a medium pull, and 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.
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.
