Is that a "Proper Slip"?

No it’s a Hitch and Timber that fits like a glove . I imagine a BM proper might fit also as it’s pretty close in size .

Yeah I knew who made it, I was just wondering which size it was. He has one called the "Proper Slip".

I don’t think the proper was even in production when I bought this one .
To be honest not sure what size it was listed as . But one thing for sure it’s a well made slip like all of Hitch and Timbers . If your looking to get one just shoot him a email and he’ll confirm if it will fit or not for your knife . That’s normally what I’ve done .

Come on, Logan. Sharpen it another couple of times and it will be good. You know how to fix this.

It's when the blade hits the backspring when snapped closed. (the evidence is a small flat spot on the otherwise sharpened edge of the blade) I always close my slipjoints in a controlled manner, so unless the blade is actually resting on the spring when closed, I wouldn't know if it had this tendency.

These covers look great! They remind me a bit of the burnt orange jigged bone #25's from 2015.I ordered the Burnt Sienna Jigged Bone - couldn't help myself. Looks like it is out of stock on the KSF site; mine is in the mail...
Maybe someone who has both could show them side by side? Guess they would look good in a pair.
I couldn't get one of the burnt sierras, but here is my little jack when I got it new.

@CrowCounty-did you pick up a 29? I’m fairly sure you would have the/“one”(ha!) 25 too compare with...
Thanks, Neal

Haha believe me I know it! I sharpened it I couldn't tell you how many times.
Blade rap?! That's a deal breaker for me.
It's probably my fault
