Rick Menefee Custom Slipjoint

[VCM3]

Here it is,the debut of the "N.Y. Backpocket"

Basically a scaled down 4" size at 3-7/8" closed.It will never see the inside of my backpocket though,this is custom ordered to squeeze as much size into a pocketknife without the actual 4" size.I'll carry this in my front pocket.The drop point styling of the blade is Rick's creation after me sending him pictures & discussing drop point blades in those Backpocket knives by Tony ,Reese & Kerry.
Rick has been making slipjoints for about a year,I believe & we've seen a lot of shadows,but don't let this guy fool you,he has got it down.Look at the mammoth Ivory on this!Look at the rounding of the backspring and bolster.This feels so darn soft & warm in my hand,its beautiful.The blade is ground wicked thin,a slicer,just what I was looking for ,in SS.Perfect spring tension,springs flush in all positions of the half stops & pivot that is so smooth.
Sorry for my "backyard" photography,I try to do a good job,to show gorgeous knives when I get them.
Enough of my rambling,but I'm taken back here Rick & all.This is just way over the top for me here today ,VERY >
Rick,Thank You,so much :thumbup:
Enjoy the pics...

Thanks for the pics....that's a stunner.

Are you talking about Vince's knife or Robuck's avatar?

 

[stockman242]

Very very nice, like it a lot. :thumbup:

VERY off topic: @Mike: ah..does it say 'I'm too sexy for this box!' ? Or am I seeing things? just curious.

@ Robuck, Hope your wife keeps you in that Dog House. Maybe she'll post up Buckwheat again while you're in there...

Congrats Vince. Like everyone else Rick's work looks great to me from the pics. Guess I need to take another plunge pretty soon. This stuff is just too habit foruming. .

Sweet knife Vince. Did you shear or tie up Copper for the photo background...or did you hit a bigfoot on the road???

Mikey, henceforth you have my unqualified vote for the Folksy Forum Frederico Fellini Avatar Fetishist Honorary Chair. You got it in the box amigo.

Somebody tell Kerry the "pot & the kettle" parable. (referencing avatar discussion here)

 

[knowtracks]

You done good Rick!

I think the avatar thing is perhaps a cry for HELP??

 

[Bastid]

I think the avatar thing is perhaps a cry for HELP??

Hum, could be . When able, I usually respond to cry's for help if I feel good will come out of it, but in this case ... na.

Another winner Vince. :thumbup:
