Big Slipjoint for Texas

[Calvin Robinson]

This is the last knife I'll make before leaving the piney woods for the big city in Texas. I heard that every things big in Texas so I figured I better bring along a big pocket knife along with my six shooter. I got this pattern from Bill Rupel when I attended his Texas Slipjoint School a couple of years ago and just got around to making one,I can tell you right now I'll be making more of these,I like it.
The blades of Sandvik 14C28N ride on bronze bushings that are inside 410 stainless integral bolster/liners,the scales are amber Burke jigged bone from Culpepper and the shield I pinned and piend per Ken Coats method so it ain't going anywhere.
I hope there is someone at the Lone Star Knife Expo that just can't live without this one.

Y'all enjoy,
Calvin
