What his Gusness said. If I hadn't been working my way through the worst ice storm in RcanSaw history, I might have snatched this beauty right off the screen. :D

Beautiful knife Ken. :thumbup:
 
Ken you are one of the Premier Slipjoint makers of Today. Every knife you make is a reflection of the heart felt interest and devotion you put into your knifes. My congratulations to you Sir...
 
VERY GOOD! Amazing work on that one Ken. First one with a "catch bit"?

Thanks so very much for all the kind comments on this knife. I hope the new owner enjoys it as much as I did making the knife.

Kerry,

Yes , first one with a "catch bit". I was thinking about not using one but then I would not have been able to get the length of master blade I wanted. I learned an awful lot building this knife.

This piece is hands down MY favorite of your line of knives. This is just super in every way. I love it. Congrats on the new owner. Kudos to you sir for having such artistic skills for making such a lovely knife--glad I got to see this piece.

Ken - can you help us (me) out with the phrase "catch bit"?

Thanx,

I am not sure were the term catch-bit came from, however the catch-bit is the spacer between the pen blade and side of the frame. What this spacer does is allow the master blade to be full length. If a catch-bit was not used in this knife the Wharnie blade could only extend to the plunge cut on the pen. I had considered making this knife without a catch-bit and even went so far as to make a set of blades up but did not like the flow and length of the master in this instance. Hope this helps.

Ken
