Two blades are better than one....

I just finished this two blade folder last night. Both blades work off the same spring. The knife is 3 1/4" closed. The main clip point blade is 2 3/8", and the sheep's foot blade is 1 1/2". The back spring and the blades are made of O1 tool steel. The liners, bolsters, and pins are nickel silver, and the scales are black linen micarta.

Thanks -chris
 
Very nice. Classic lines and elegant, but looks like a workhorse too. What steel are the blades?
 
Sorry, O1 steel, I should have read more carefully. Do you ever do any in 1095, with bone scales?
 
I'll be honest, I don't like the looks of a lot of the hand-made slipjoint folders that I see. But this one is great! Very nice design and work. Excellent!
 
Very Nice!

Chris, I didn't know you made many slipjoints. Is this something new for you?

Thanks.

Bobwhite, I've not used any 1095 yet. I did forge some 5160 down to make a back spring a while back, but it's much easier to use precision ground flat bar. I mainly use O1 because I can pick it up locally, and I can heat treat it myself.

StoneDog, Most of the knives that I make are slipjoints. I've just recently started branching into other styles of folding knives. However, I really like the classic look of slipjoint folders.
