Big Slipjoint Work Knife

[paps]

I've spent the last couple months acquiring and setting up some new equipment in the hopes of improving my slipjoints. I now have a milling machine and horizontal grinder. This is the first knife I've made using the new stuff. It's not perfect, but I think it's quite an improvement over those I made previously. Here's the specs...

Blade and backspring are D2 tool steel
Scales are black canvas micarta
Shadow washer and pins are 416 stainless
Liners are 410 stainless...mill relieved
Decorative mosaic pin on one side just for fun
Overall length is 8 3/4"
Thanks for lookin! -Phil

A milling machine and horizontal grinder sure make life easier don't they?

I love the hollow grinds and that one probably would look great even without them ! Frank
