Mini Texas Toothpick

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

Here is a mini texas toothpick that I have finished. This is the 4th slip-joint that I have made. I like making them, it's something other than a linerlock. I was able to keep the top corner of the tang hidden to keep the look clean. The blade is 3-9/16 inches long, flat ground and made of Jerry Rados ladder pattern damascus. You should see the way it shimmers in the light. Front and rear bolsters are titanium that have been anodized a gold/bronze color. The liners are also titanium and have been anodized a similar color. The scales are brown pen shell and look a lot like tortoise shell. The screws have been heat colored gold and the backbar fileworked. Great walk and talk with a half stop. There is an elephant ivory blade rest on the inside. Overall length is 8 inches. Price is $550
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

Great looking job as usual Chuck. I like especially like slipjoints without what is called on TKCL "P.E.T." (Protruding Edge Thingy) (or when the corner of the tang sticks way up over the liners/handle.) .

Nice design work.

What does "walk and talk" refer to?

 

[Les Voorhies]

"Walk and talk" mostly refers to how slipjoint or lock back folders operate. The walk part refers to how the "stop end" (i dont know what else to call it) tracks on the tang of the blade and the "talk" refered to the nice clean "Click" when the knife cosed.

BTW, i handled Chucks knives in Las Vegas and they are very nice.
