Photos Some of my recent slipjoints

[Selfe Made Knives]

Hi all

I thought I would share some photos of the recent slipjoints I have made. I have only been making these to sell for a couple of months, after the best part of a year making and carrying them myself to make sure that I was happy with them first.

First up a lambsfoot in vintage red linen micarta



Here are 2 swaybacks. One in black micarta, the other in Juma imitation ivory.




And lastly an Arrondi. My take on a knife designed by Jean-François Moretti.




Thanks for looking all, and I hope you enjoy my work.

Nice All look very cleanly done.
Some specs would be good to go with the pictures.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Mitch

The swayback has an RWL-34 blade and spring. The handle has brass liners and bolsters, one has a black micarta handle, and the other a Juma imitation ivory handle.
This knife has a cutting edge of 2" 7/8 and it measures 7" open and 4" closed.

The Arrondi has an RWL-34 blade and spring. The handle has brass liners and bolsters and a light tan brown micarta handle.
This knife has a cutting edge of 2" 6/8 and it measures 6" 3/8 open and 3" 6/8 closed.

I will have to update specs on the lambsfoot later, as I don't have these to hand.

RWL-34 is good steel.
Even on the backspring. I would have thought 304 or similar, very nice.
Again thanks for sharing

Those look awesome!! Thanks for sharing. I especially like the lambsfoot blade with the red micarta scales.

Nice work. That imitation ivory swayback with the lambsfoot blade from the first knife would look killer.

Thank you all for such kind words, makes the hours up the workshop in this cold horrible wet UK weather a little easier to work in.

I love RWL-34, both in use, and also working with it. It is my stainless of choice for folding blades.

Those look awesome!! Thanks for sharing. I especially like the lambsfoot blade with the red micarta scales.

Thanks. I really like this combo too, its just a pity that I have come to the end of that piece of vintage micarta. I have a really small piece left, that I may be able to get a small pocket knife out of, or may use it for bolsters on a birdseye riveted knife.

Nice work. That imitation ivory swayback with the lambsfoot blade from the first knife would look killer.

That can be done. And I agree, that would look awesome.

Nice work!
That Arrondi looks beautiful!

Thank you. I am really drawn to this knife myself, love the blade shape. Its got a really nice feel in the pocket too.
