Tim Britton slipjoints

[LX_Emergency]

I was recently for my first US knifeshow visit in Arkansas as the A.G. Russell Knife Event. And I bought a slipjoint by Tim Britton.

I'm surprised that he doesn't get mentioned more but I though I'd share some pictures that I took at the show. I'll take some pictures of the one I bought later and share them as well.

Does anyone else have any favourites by him?

The man himself:

And his work

You can't tell because of the light but the top one is MOP.

Swayback anyone? I was really tempted by this one

A trio of his pattern called "avatar" in Pearl and with engraved bolsters....very nice. The sold as a set I think.

Some more Avatars, I got myself a medium one in Goldlip Pearl

They're smaller than the picture suggests but oh so nice.

This is the small version of the bullet lock. I think it's just a little smaller than a GEC #72

Tim makes a superb knife, I have yet to pick one up, but I will. Thanks for the pics.

Tim Britton makes some nice knives. I'm really tempted to get one of his serpentine jacks with stag scales. Some day.

Did you pick up a knife?

I did. One of his Medium Avatar slipjoints with Gold Lip Pearl handlescales.

Does that swayback lock?

I do believe it does.

I think I just found a new grail knife.

Well...if you hurry...I believe it was still available at the end of the show. It's not on his website...but I'm sure that if you shoot him an e-mail....

Tim makes a great knife, especially for the price. I have a 1 blade trapper and a large bullet lockback.

Those easy opens are sweet.

I bought a beautiful red stag trapper last year for my birthday and it is everything I hoped for,highly recommended.

Tim Britton has been making knives for over 35 years. He is one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. I love his trappers and baby bullet knives.

No pictures?

Don't have access to 'em right now.

Great looking knives! I'd be partial to the EO's and those Avatars. Nice looking gnarly stag too :thumbup:

Here are a couple of mine. The swayback was my first with stag scales. Charles

I normally like my clips to have a little more meat to them but man oh man does that wharnie secondary look amazing!

 

[feathers73]

I want one.

I guess that I almost missed this thread. Here is my swayback from Tim:





It's a nice knife in green micarta and BG-42. Blade is about 3". Anyway, I haven't posted much lately, but come to read the new posts almost every day and continue to learn from you all.
