Sneak peeks, exclusive previews, works-in-progress... Oh yeah! Gotta love 'em, because they keep us full of hope and inspiration.

RIGHT, FELLERS?

Here's a little taste of one of my latest slipjoints. I call this pattern, "Lil Bubba" because it fits so nicely in the hand, and is such a joy to carry in the pocket of a fine pair of gabardine trousers. Truly a gentleman's pocketknife, as it is unobtrusive in the pocket, and yet the D2 blade is strong and worthy of opening the toughest UPS parcel, or trimming the nose hairs of a Yak if need be.

I still need to cut in the nail nick, and HT the blade. This will get jeweled and anodized liners, but no real embellishment per customer request. I'll post the finished product when I am done. Thanks for looking! :)
 
Thats a great little knife. What due you cut your nail nicks with?

That's a Nice knife. It seems to "flow" if that makes any sence. I can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks, Mike. That's exactly what I was thinking. My pappy always carried a small knife in his pocket as long as I could remember. Always cleaning his nails with it, or shaving a stick to pick his teeth with.
