What slip joint do you have w/ file work?

Thanks Jack. The Rodgers has moved to a new home, but the Crossland is still in my collection. Great reminder of the high quality of the early Sheffield cutlery industry.

Several that I've seen on this thread got my attention. I like the Maltese style cross pattern on the springs and the brass liners next to the steel springs w/ the file work is very cool looking.

Charles, you are a no joke collector of beautiful knives! Almost every time I see a post of yours w/ a pic it astounds me. WOW!

 

[glocktenman]

And like this one from Mike. The Maltese cross pattern is pretty cool too.

I don't believe I have any. I like file work on "other people's knives" but not so much my own. I don't know why I feel that way exactly, but I do. I think it's fine if you like it and I can appreciate the talent and work that goes into it. I've seen some stunningly beautiful stuff on here, but none of them really kindled a desire to own them. I must be a bit looney I guess.

I am much the same but you are hard pressed to find a Laguiole without file work, i believe each worker has his own design , so his work can be traced back to him. I wanted a Laguiole knife and got a bit carried away , of course here in Europe they are easier to get.

It may amuse you to know some names of the filework (guillochage in French), these exemples are taken from Renaud Aubry's site (and you can have Laguiole without filework, though I do admit is is rare). Some artisans, like Manu Laplace do filework on the inner spring.

This one has file work on the inside of the spring. I've seen another makers knives who didn't have any file work on it except for the inside spring area.

This is great lookin too w/ the work only on the liners. Craig keeps impressing me.
