Second try with a slip joint.

[Nektarios]

Well after the first try to make, a slip joint knife i think now it is time to try to make another one.
So here we go, the materials for this one are, for the handle stainless liners and bolster, and thunderstorm Kevlar scales, and RWL-34 for the blade and back spring.

As you can see, I have cut the scales and bolsters, and the blade and back, spring brought to final position,
Next step it’s to clean the blade and back spring and make it ready for heat treatment.
Now I have decide to put screws to the scales and bolster instead of pins because I’m not that good yet to peen the pins.

Looking great so far. I actually prefer screws over pins. IMO, a knife that is built to last a life time should be easily serviceable.

As you can see it starts to look like a knife, the only thing left to do now is to clean and polish everything up, make the blade sharp and to start to assemble the parts together to one piece.
