Wood scaled slipjoints?

I like it a lot. It does darken with age and use. The only wood I have that does not get any darker is ebony - look at the teardrop, it has some really high quality ebony. It was that black when freshly cut, and it isn't going to get any darker.

Yes, that's a fantastic cut of ebony on that knife. Who's the maker?

I purchased a Queen teardrop, and sent it, along with some of my best ebony, to Muskrat Man (Kaleb Reynolds) to rehandle it, and remove the locking liner.

I still have some of that ebony, waiting for the right opportunity to put it on a knife. It is some of the best ebony I have seen. When I was cutting the first block into scales, I discovered that I have a severe allergic reaction to it. Interestingly, I don't have any reaction to cocobolo.
 
Great examples and great knives...:thumbup::thumbup:

Our own T. A. Davison...in Mesquite.....

A good old Frontier Double Eagle. While the clip is a liner lock, the skinner is just a slipjoint.....

Got some natural patina already. Only downside, it smells (and the food tastes) pretty much to steel! :mad: :D

Copperlock in ebony...That re-handled Queen is exquisite.Ebony is the best looking of the woods IMO.

Very nice e.g.s of different types of wood scales everyone. Thanks.

This Camillus has unusual jigged wooden scales. cWWII I believe.

Cumberland has a Whittler in coco, which is a little bit bigger than a stockman.
Or there is a small stockman in maple.
