That's some of the most beautiful micarta I've ever seen.I'm working on two knives for other people and in the downtime I've been working on my 10th slipjoint.
Thin hollow ground RWL34, 3 5/32" closed wit a 2 3/16" blade. It is designed to have flowing lines when closed. I like how it turned out, I'll EDC it for a while. There are enough improvement points, but I'm getting better.
Do you like the handle material? It is genuine WW2 rag micarta with dark patina
That’s one spicy Buck!
this looks really nice. just by chance, is the pattern available anywhere, or did you design it yourself? I would love to try and make one like that.
It’s a pattern that I came up with, modified slightly from the Tony Bose pattern posted on Chris reeves web sight.
That’s always fun
Most of 'emWValtakis Subtlety is becoming a lost art. I just noticed your maker's mark in there Chip. Cleverly done! Also first time I have caught it. Is that on all of them?
Cool washer setup. I have to process what I am seeing here a bit.
Thnx. It is a 0,5mm layer of G10 with a 2nd 0,5mm layer on top with a recess in which a 0.5mm piece of bronce is placed.

I had to zoom in to find it. I never would have noticed if it wasn't mentioned.It's on the buck too! Move over "Where's Waldo". Where's Valtakis?
