Jim Burke Framer

GigOne · Mar 16, 2005

This is Jim's mini Urban Combat. . .the second framer that I've had him make for me.

OAL: 7 7/8"
Blade length: 3 1/4"
Closed length: 4 5/8"
Blade material: S30V (hand-rubbed satin finish)
Blade thickness: 1/8"
Slab-to-Slab width: 5/8"

Deep pocket and tip-down carry (has holes drilled for tip up carry). Double thumb studs, perfectly centered blade, and buttery smoove action. Slab color is a mix of heat treat and anodising. His knives are extremely comfortable to carry and use ! And wicked sharp !

Super person and a joy to work with. . . .and when he provides a delivery date. . . .it's there !

Thanks. . . .

So. . . .how do you rate my crayoning capabilities ?

I need to stop buying knives. . . .so that I can stop using a scanner and buy a nice digital camera.

JB makes some solid, tough as nails folders.
He just went full time knifemaker last week.

That looks cool! Interesting handle treatment. Looks like batik to me.
