Buckeye Burl Folder

This is the first time that I used Buckeye Burl on a knife, and I was well pleased with the results. This is an "Every Day Carry" slipjoint pattern that I Make. -chris

That burl is nice, Chris! I also like the knife. I like it when people make good slip-joints. Everyone seems to be under the impression that a nice knife HAS to have a locking mechanism. That's not always the case. A good slip-joint can be a pleasure to make, and certainly quite nice to use. Well done!
