Slipjoint #8 in the works. After final contouring the scales will be a nice two tone, white-brown finish
RWL34 with bronce liners.

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...

Hate my picture taking abilities, but it’s stainless San Mia with a Damascus core. Liking the logo pin though.

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 the sharpest most cutting knife I have ever made (I say that all the time) but, really this thing was so thin at the edge from multiple etches in the manganese phosphate bath that it would cut paper before I sharpened it! Then I sharpened it...

Just finished this one last week. Hand forged 1075 with stabilized Buckeye Burl handle and domed copper pin. Hand stitched leather sheath with suede lining.

Superbly done!

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!

edited it is #7, not #8

Just finished this one up. First hidden tang and first time using antler. Given as a gift to my FIL who found the antler shed.

 

[pafka]

you guys are killing it here - so many nice pieces, it's insane.
I have also started my first slipjoints as some of you, but to finish them I obviously need a hammer So here is my attempt at a machinist hammer.

Bird handle is coming along. The bottom is unfinished to allow for fit-up.

Pulled out another one of my heat treated blades that I wasn't liking before and slapped some ebony on there anyway! This is that san mai from the New Jersey steel Baron. It had a tapered Tang that I wasn't satisfied with but I fixed it!
