Too many knives coming in! This is as new from maker,it has brown winterbottom jigged bone,dyed & jigged by Ken Coats.
It has a real nice firm snap,with half stops,the action reminds me of older high quality vintage slips of days gone,it has that firm pop.The blade closes nicely centered,and there is no bladeplay.The springs are flush with the liners,in all three positions -closed/half/opoen.Pinned acorn shield is set in precise,top rate.One piece milled liner bolster construction,liners are relieved,so no tang scratches from pivot operation.Hand rubbed satin finish on the swedged & sharp blade,useful pattern & it is slim & nicely rounded,for the pocket & hand,also,the bolsters have a nice brush finish to hide your carry scratches If you've been looking for a custom slip ,consider this,I'd rate it excellent workmanship in this pricerange,or any ! & Ken told me his wait is about a year out now & I can see why.It is also a nice size,for all around EDC of this knife style.I have another just about Identical in pattern & size.Looking to sell,trades would have to be really interesting to me
