Linerless Slipjoint

[raylaconico]

I'm getting back into making slipjoints after getting a lot of advice and inspiration from ABS mastersmith Mike Vagnino. Here's my first one with really great walk and talk action. It has a 3 1/2", blade. Opened is 8 1/8". Steel for the blade and backspring is 1095. The handle is micarta. Thanks for looking

WANT.

Will we be seeing any of these in the FOR SALE forum? I have a soft spot for shadow patterns.

This one might already be spoken for but I'll be putting some up for sale soon. Thanks.

Hell yeah! I have one of Ray's Nessie folders and the word sharp just looses it's meaning on his blades. I'd be interested in getting another one for sure.

Yeah, I milled the scales and the action is just about perfect, at least for me.

Thanks guys for the comments!
