Slipjoint

[Calvin Robinson]

I finished this Small Trapper yesterday. I made it to take to the 100%er's show , July 15th, in Plano Texas. Charlie and Harry Mathews gave me some Bakelite last year when I visited them for a deer hunting trip. I've never worked with Bakelite before but I really like it. What do y'all think?

Do you know why they quit making Bakelite Don?

Bakelite contains formaldehyde and asbestos. The stuff can kill you especially when grinding on it.

Thanks for the info. It was really pleasant smelling while cutting and grinding.

I like different. This knife is just a bit different than all the rest. Must be the bakelite. Love it!

I had forgotten that I wore a respirator while grinding Bakelite.
