Thank you Charlie! It’s one I picked up from a member, attention @jsdistin
From what I’ve gathered, jsdistin can correct me if I’m wrong. It started out as a 772215HJ Washington Punch with cocobolo.
It now sports a crown lifter blade and a 2018 barlow 77 clip with the match striker long pull and burl ironwood scales.
It was stated from the member. “The spines of the blade and caplifter were shaved down a bit, the back of the spine was peened down slightly for fit, and the back springs were also trimmed so that the one for the cap lifter sat flush open and closed. The pulls are both snappy with the blade being a 6ish and the caplifter being a 7ish.”
The main clip blade can be pinched open I find quite enjoyable but love the OEM clips too. It also had a satin finish on back springs, pins and scales but I decided to hand polish it. I loved it before but even more all shiny like the original WJ models. It’s a unique knife and glad to have it my collection.
