Just in from John,some new knives. The first one I'm listing is a swell center jack. A "cokebottle" , "fiddleback" , "beavertail" ? I dunno wich to call it , but it is exceptionally nice. Look at the mammoth ivory on this one. Fit & finish,walk 'n' talk is great. Has a nice medium snappy 5 to sixish pull. Crescent nail nick & drawn swedge on the blade. The blade and spring are CPM 154 ss,and the blade is hollow ground perfect & a wicked slicer,satin finish. Mill relieved ss liners,ss pins. Stainless pinched bolster. Spring is flush in all half stop positions. Blade centers nicely closed. Spearpoint blade profile is very utilitarian. It is "pinchable" too.Measures 3-3/4" closed,6-5/8" open. Blade,2-7/8" with 2-5/8" of cutting edge. A one of a kind handmade slipjoint by John Lloyd of St. Louis Missouri. Awesome value here for your dollars.
