A few recently completed folders - Joseph Rodgers pattern

KNIFE MAKER
I have only recently become more active on KD after being a member for quite a while, so I thought to show some of my work.

The first lot up are based on a Joseph Rodgers knife I inherited from my grandfather. It has been honed to the point where the blade tip sits well above the scales, but I managed to make a reasonable copy of it. The original has a sheepsfoot blade, but I also adapted it to the wharncliffe profile. These are part of a "modern classics" range I do - I use or adapt classic/traditional designs and build them in modern materials.

First up is a copy I built for myself. Grandpa's knife has two blades - one sheepsfoot and one pen, but I only copied the main blade. Steel is 1095 and it is my constant companion:

Then, some examples of recent versions I have built. some with liners, some linerless, quite a few with the wharncliffe "modification":

Thank you for looking - comments are welcome :biggrin:
 
Thanks George. You are right about folders being a challenge - I still have the first one I made and I sometimes look at it and I just have to smile. I am self trained, so it was a lot of trial and error, and I was so proud of it when I finally figured it out. And I still am, but when I compare that to the works of others, and even the stuff I do these days......well, let's just say, I think there has been an improvement :D:D
 
Kroo,
I don't know what the 1st looked like , but these are AWESOME!
Where do you sell them?
I may be interested in the Blue Wharnny.. Depending on if I can afford it!
PM me with a price, if you're interested in selling one… possibly.
Thanks, Rex
 
Thank you all :D
@Don Robinson - Mr. Robinson, thank you, it really means a lot to me, coming from you :)
 
Thanks :D Been off the grind for a bit, due to some high winds, but not been idle....as you'll see from some recent posts...:D
