I made and heat treated the parser plates that I use for shields from Ats-34.
Each shield is made individually from 410 ss sheet stock, hope this helps.

Ken - I received the knife today. It's wonderful. Excellent construction, fit, and finish. The blade is perectly centered when closed, despite it having such a long, thin blade. No blade play when open. The backspring is flush in all three positions. Nice touches like the integral liners and bolsters, relieved liners, pinched bolsters, nice bone, and a beautifully ground blade and swedge.

It's a lot of blade, but a slim, compact, easy-to-carry package. Great job. Thanks again.
 
Great choice Kelly! (Hard to beat a fine knife from a great guy.)

Good to see you hanging around here again.
 
Hiya Gus - I never left. I'm still here every day, but just don't post much any more. But I see everything - the good, the bad, and the ugly! :)My slipjoint collection has been steadily growing - old ones, new ones, productions, and customs. I'll be posting some pics of a few things in the traditional knives forum soon.
 
Well, Kelly, that's a couple of knives that we kind of have in common. Except I've got the two blade version. You always did have excellent taste. ;)

Good to see you around and we'll be looking forward to seeing you over at the clubhouse. :cool:
 
Hi Ken,

Awesome looking folder. Great work. Would you like some more bone? How about some grizzly bear leg bone this spring?
I have been carrying the green 2 blade trapper. Had fun showing your knives to students in a nearby village. We were talking about being a successful entrepreneur.
