UK made Slipjoint Folding Knives

[Selfe Made Knives]

Hi all

I thought I would post and share some new knives that I have made, having recently started making slipjoint folding knives.

I've made two different patterns so far. A Barlow and a Native. I have just drawn up a swayback and will be trying them next.

Barlow with brass liners, brown micarta and RWL34 blade and spring

The same knife, but in vintage maroon micarta

And this one in lightening strike carbon fibre

And this is my Native. In Nickel silver liners and bolsters with Olive drab micarta

And finally a Native in brass with blue crazy micarta

I would love to know what you think of my first slip joints.

Cheers
Matt

I favor covers made from natural materials but those look really nice.

As someone interested in dipping my toes into making slip joints myself someday, I would be interested to know how long you have been at it and what kind of equipment you are using.

Looks good mate,

Any plans on a swayback lambsfoot in natural materials?

 

[Jack Black]

Nice work Matt

I like the proportions of the designs. Something at which many makers fail. Particularly on the Native. Beautiful flow of the lines. Congrats.

Dan.

Beautiful knives.
Why is the native called a native?

Very nice sleek looking knives.

.............if those are your first, Matt - very excited. Wish I'd caught you at your table for a fondle of 'em.

Many people love patina, not me though - if and when you do stainless, please let me know

Loved your sticker at the knife show...

They look very nice, Matt. If you need a "tester" you can send me that crazy blue Native . . . I'll give it a good wringing-out!

Hi Matt,

Nice to meet you at the show I bought a excellent pry bar of you.

It was very good last year,if anyone is on holiday here then and wants to come it would be good to see you.

Also anyone in Europe fancies a trip over to a wet and windy England (last year it was sunny/warm so you never know ) also be good to see you.
