Two blades, single backspring

Northwoods MiniMoose. A faultless little knife. So little in fact, the single spring wasn't actually needed. It's a demonstration of skill and a real jewel.

I've always liked the looks of that little knife.
 
Single spring two blades are a wonders of cutlership! Hard to do in a correct and balanced way. Nice ones here, and a great idea for a thread!

It's not as simple as two blades sharing a single spring. You also need to take a knife's size into account.

For example -

The two knives pictured above are a BFC 2010 moose and a Queen/Dan Burke half-whittler. The half-whittler is a sleek, almost delicate knife. The moose on the other hand is a big, heavy brute. They have very little in common apart from the fact that both are single spring patterns.

Disregard my earlier post. The forum moose is a two spring knife, not a single spring. I guess that explains why it is so heavy and bulky.
