3rd Slippy - Swayback Wharncliffe with mammoth tooth and Damascus

[J S Machine]

Here is my latest; slipjoint #3.

3.25" closed length
1095/15N20 Damascus blade from Pakistan
Mammoth tooth scales from Charles Turnage
410 Bolsters, liners, and pins
AEB-L Back spring

Still on the fence about the gold screws, Not sure what I think about them. This will be the first that goes up for sale.

Thanks for looking

John. That looks awesome. Great gob. scrap the gold and go with stainless..

 

[Travis Fry]

I agree with Randy. Excellent work, especially for your third. I'm about to start my 3rd folder too, and I hope I do half so well. FWIW I'd toss the gold also and go with stainless or maybe blued screws...

Outstanding John! I think your slipjoint future is quite bright. You get that mill you were lookin for?

 

[J S Machine]

Going to pic it up today. I haven't been so excited about something in a long time :lol:

 

[Calvin Robinson]

Looking good! I like the way you masked off the area on the blade to etch your mark in. The gold screws look fine, on this knife.
What is an AEB-L backspring?

Third? Sheesh!!

Wow John looking awesome but I agree SS bolts to match the bolster would look super.

Now that's a nice job. Just beautiful!

 

[J S Machine]

Thanks for all the compliments. This one was tough. The geometry is way different on this design than it is on a regular style slipjoint. It almost got me, but I pulled it off

 

[Bruce Bump]

Hey John, You not only pulled it off, You Nailed It!
