Keith Johnson Knives

Recent additions to my folder collection from Keith. I wanted to have Keith build a slightly more robust BackPocket, but still maintaining the original feel.

He did a wonderful job on the first one pictured with the Ivory covers, the second version is even more stout than the first, with the inclusion of a flush joint and Westinghouse micarta, SUPER!

I think these knives are beautifully crafted by a fabulous maker who is also a great gentleman.

Thanks for posting them Jeff. A pair of beauties!

I only have one knife made by Keith but I'm sure you'll know what I mean when I say his knife not only looks the part but feels it too:)

I'm sure your boy will be happy with that one! Very nice!
 
Those are some dandies Keith. I will stop by when I come up fishing to get my usual tutorial. Congrats on those knives. See you next month.
 
Here's a 3.5" Barlow I recently completed. The steel is CTS XHP, it has .005" spacer washers and bronze pivot bushings.

Keith, This is one of the most awesome folders Ive seen in a while, you do amazing work, It is just so Barlow Perfect.
 
Keith,

I am not a Barlow fan, but this is sweet, great SawCut covers, simply elegant!
