It is American Chestnut. I thought it was a great example, but I have been even more impressed since seeing some of the others that have come out, which are much darker with less contrast.Woah, JTB that's beautiful. ♡ What type of wood?
That has to one of the most useful comfortable looking slipjoints I have seen in a long time.
Thank you Rick. I was following Manny's build on this and couldn't resist. It's so well built. Kinda unreal honestly that this is his first 3 blade build for the level of fit and finish here.Beautiful knife, Jason! I recall you mentioning this was on the way. Absolutely stunning!
Thanks Dave. It feels amazing in hand. Manny did a great job on this one. I'm pretty sure this won't be his last!That has to one of the most useful comfortable looking slipjoints I have seen in a long time.![]()

So my boss and the other 2 ladies I work with went to a separate job from me yesterday. They trashed out a foreclosure, well today I asked my boss " find any old knives?" To which she answered "maybe". Lol, anyways this evening she hands me this say'n "its really rusty and I don't know what kind it is" once I got it open I was like "Wow, its a Queen!" View attachment 1021240 View attachment 1021243Got it cleaned up pretty good and sharpened. Its seen a bench grinder, I reprofiled the edge a little to get some of the recurve outta it. She'll make a good user now. Only downside the main blade spring is weaker than I'd like, but its ok.
