My latest folder
I just finished this slipjoint for my wonderful wife's 79th. birthday this month.
The blade is made of 3/32" thick CPM 154CM. 3 1/2" long. Handle is 4 1/8" long. Liners, bolsters and pins are 416 stainless steel. The scales are made from a stabilized block of wood I found by accident in a drawer. Maybe amboyna burl? Frank, did you send that to me? |

Dave, I told her to put it in her pocket. She said, "I ain't carrying no knife in my pocket!"

__________________ C Craft Customs With every custom knife I build I try to accomplish three things. I want that knife to look so good you just have to pick it up, feel so good in your hand you can't wait to try it, and once you use it, you never want to put it down ! If I capture those three factors in each knife I build, I am assured the knife will become a piece that is used and treasured by its owner! C Craft |

Wow, what a knife, Sir! I really like the way the lines flow. The angle of the rear bolster gives it a feel....just by looking at it. Beautiful work.
