Dale Howe made a nice kydex for this handmade slipjoint folder by Missouri maker John Lloyd.
The kydex definitely gives alot of carry options
The knife is 4.25" closed,7-7/8" open. Has a blade of 3.5",3-1/8" cutting edge. Nice even medium firm spring tension. Crescent nail pull,and the blade is "pinchable" too,in case you do not have fingernails. Blade centers perfectly closed. Nice snappy walk n talk. The blade steel is either 52100 carbon or CPM 154 CM ss,I'm not certain,in any case though,good steel.
The scales are a really unique & good looking tan/ivory linen micarta. John only uses antique & rare synthetic scales,when he does. SS bolster is "pinched". SS liners are mill relieved.
This is a great folder ,to look at,or if you would like to purchase it,$250 delivered with kydex included
