Here is slippy number 17. I really feel like I am getting the hang of these.
The blade is CPM154 as is the back spring. The body is integral with the bolsters and made out of 416 stainless. The handle material is stabilized giraffe bone.The action on this on is fairly easy> I would give it a 5 out of 10. My wife can open it fairly easily but my nine year old can't. Open length is 6 1/2 inches and closed length 3 3/4. The back spring is flush in all three positions.
Let me know what you think of it.All comments are appreciated.

Looks great Steve.
Even the giraffe bone has a pattern and a coloring that goes with it!! The price is also very good.

Hi. very classy lines. One question: are the pictures reversed, or is the nail nick on the left handed side?

Thanks
 
The pictures ar not reversed. The nail nick is either on the left handed side or its onthe right hand side if you open your knives the way I do.


My attempt at turning an oops into a feature. It does actually open rather nicely this way even though I am right handed.
