Well I figured why not try a slipjoint? So here are my first two available. These were very satisfying to make
Background on the design. This pattern is modeled after a fixed blade I own by Howard Hitchmough called a – slim hunter. I created this pattern by permission and made my folding knife version.
This design will evolve as I get feedback and make improvements. Also will make adjustments and improvements to the half –stop. Currently on these two, the spring is 1095 steel, generally flush in open and closed positions. The pull is comfortable on both. The blades are hand forged and will show forging marks. Full flat grinds make these both thin slicers
First is a (dark) burgundy micarta with black G10 liners. Polished blade of forged laminated Hitachi white steel.
OAL – 7 ¾”
Blade – 3 1/16”
Handle 4 1/2” (closed)
Spine - .10 thick
Handle thickness - < ½”
This comes with a simple leather slip case
This one has a stiffer spring than the black one
Asking price is $225
Second is the same in black micarta with stainless liners. etched blade of forged laminated Hitachi white steel.
OAL – 7 5/8”
Blade – 3 ¼”
Handle 4 ¼” (closed)
Spine - .09 thick
Handle thickness - .41”
Asking price is $225 SOLD
This also comes with a simple leather slip case
This has a milder spring feel and you can open it by pinching the blade with your finder
A note on my blades, I make thin hard edges, they won’t withstand abuse or misuse, they will simply chip out. But if you want a very sharp cutting knife that stays sharp and is easy to sharpen, you will be very pleased.
Paypal is most convenient and preferred.
Int’l customers welcome, shipping to be quoted.
I welcome your comments
