Here's one in 1095 with as much of a parkerized finish as I could give it. I don't know what it is or what to call it! What I've been doing is going through my pile of blades that are heat treated that I didn't think I liked and just finishing them off anyway because I'm out of steel again..... I need to get some more free 30 seconds pin stock to finish that rear rivet! That's an example of that pin idea I spoke about in another thread where I take a piece of 1/!8 inch brass tubing flare it into the hole and then put a piece of 3/32 pin stock and peen it I think it looks nice and I think it takes some of the stress of peening away from the handle material a little bit...1654100166089.jpg1654100098512.jpg1654100725997.jpg

I'm liking that logo pin as well! That curvature to your plunge lines looks pretty cool, is that intentional or....

Taking about how it sweeps back a little towards the handle? Yeah, but it unintentionally cut about a 1/4 inch off my handle. I was grinding the tip of a previous knife, I start rotating the handle down as I get to the tip, it’s how I do my distal tapering, and slipped a little into the handle area. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it, so I tried it on this one, but didn’t take into consideration I would lose a little of handle room.

Thanks
 
This is slipjoint #7, my first warncliffe.

Not having a mill tickles the fantasy. I build the liner up out of two layers of 0,5mm G10 and sawed oud a recess for the ricasso to move freely.
Around the pivot is a 0,5mm piece of bronce.
I really like the two tone look the liner has this way.
First time using rag micarta, this is east German, former DDR stuff!
