First Lockback

[paps]

Had a great time over the last few days with a visitor in my shop. His name is Leon Hall and he's a very accomplished knife maker who is now retired. He was nice enough to help me with my first lockback. With his guidance I was able to avoid many mistakes and ended up with a workable knife the first time out. I'm looking forward to making more of these. Many thanks Leon!

Here's the specs: Blade, lockbar, and spacer are CPM-154. Bolsters and liners are 410 stainless and the handles are G10. Overall length is 7 1/8"; 4" closed. Thanks for looking!-Phil

That looks like a sturdy usable knife right there!
Clean and simple, like the colors!

I like the way the bolster us made to hide the joint when its closed.
