I wanted to share this here as well since I know a lot of you don't go to the knifemaker gallery.

This is my first two blade slip joint and my 11th slip joint to date. It is a milestone for me because it marks my first year making knives. I completed my first knife, a fixed blade, back in the end of August 2011. It was supposed to end up like my Uinta Bushcraft model but needless to say it fell a little short. I feel that I have made some progress over this year and hope the next one is just as good.

This is patterned after the Tony Bose Wharncliffe Trapper. It measures a little over 3 1/2" closed and is made with CPM 154CM. Handles are lightning strike carbon fiber over orange g-10 and earth brown g-10.

This knife is not for sale.

Thanks for looking!

Son, you got a real future in knifemaking! :D
Absolutely fabulous. I love that you keep going nonconventional in how you do your handles. :thumbup:
 
That brown and orange paired against the LSCF is amazing. Great looking knife Mr. Oeser. You sure do have a future building these. Congrats on your one year :thumbup:
 
J, love this knife, my favorite CF slipjoint ever. Congrats and looking forward to witnessing your career. :thumbup:
 
Very nice indeed- congrats on the mile stone.

Keep up the good work. - :thumbup::cool:

Fantastic.

Very original choice of materials and finish.

Keep up the great work.
 
Looking good. Is there a reason you used the carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales, or is that a distinguishing feature of your knives?

Congrats on the milestone Jared. That WT is WICKED! And I wouldn't expect it any other way :thumbup: Keep up the great work.

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

Christian, the layers are really just for looks. I laminate them together and then grind the material down to under 1/8" so it does not increase thickness. I do that on my fixed blades and thought it might transfer well to slipjoints for a little something different.

Okay, I'm sitting at working trying to think of something epic to say, but realize the images speak for themselves. Congratz on the anniversary, man!
