Mighty nice, Ken. That little coping blade would sure get a lot of work if it were in my pocket!
 
Thanks for the kind comments guys!

The blade stock on the secondary blades is .052, amazing little blades. Much like an X-acto blade.
 
Magnificent Ken. and a great pattern with the thick stock Master blade and then the 2 very thin secondaries.
Most modern production knives don't get the thin razor sharp secondaries. But you can, and do with your multiblade knives, just like the vintage Sheffield Masters.
I wonder how many people would like to have this ivory Lockback Whittler ?

When I first worked out the blade stock thicknesses I was concerned about having room around the blades. The Fight'n Rooster was not concerned so much about blade rub.
This is a good example(I think) as to how thicknesses can be changed a bit without affecting the overall thickness of the knife. The master blade stock is .020 thicker than the Fight'n Rooster with the secondary blades being .010 thicker. The actual overall thickness is .005 or so thinner than the Fight'n Rooster. I was able to reduce the liner/bolster thickness to achieve this.
 
Here is a little one going to Northern Lakes show in October. A bit of a break from some of the knives I have building as of late. A small knife at 3 1/8, shadow swayback with liners. CPM D2. 1/12 oz.
