Jim
Is the craftmanship as good as it looks? Does the maker sell these pieces? Is there a way of contacting him? Thanks Steve __________________ Stephen Vanderkolff Please come on over and check out my website. http://www.vanderkolffknives.com/ Thanks

I think it might have taken me longer than five minutes, and still not sure if I have it figured out.
That is a truly amazing knife. Thanks for posting it Coop. Charles

Magic idea, just when I thought I had seen it all...several projects, all of which boggle the mind could be applyed to this... the lock could be like Worm's style of years ago. I really like how the engraving brings this work together.
I have built a few subhilts, and it is hard to NOT copy Bob L when you do one, he SO put his stamp on this style ! Last one I did, was very thin, used buffalo horn and Damuscus, my customer called it "Stealth" (He keeps it under his pillow at night !) Newby, just had to throw in my two cents...sure nice to be sitting in outback Oz, and do this, been alone at the forge for so many years here... Last edited by Roger Keagle; 02-07-2007 at 01:13 AM.

Thanks Roger. Stay well out there in the outback, OK? Isn't it great to be able to see what's going on, almost anywhere in the world with the technology that's available?
Got any pictures of your work? __________________  http://www.srjknives.com NRA Endowment Member Knifemakers' Guild Member since 1971 "May you live all the days of your life." - Jonathan Swift

I will admit that I am one who not only spent the initial time figuring out the engineering but went back for more. The blade is obviously a lock-back but I'm not sure on the sub-hilt section. I'm assuming that it works like a slip joint. Outstanding knife! Notice how the attaching screw for the main guard seems to dissappear when open.
Facinating! Gary

That knife is really amazing, isn't it Gary.
Wish I could help on photo posting, Roger. I'm sure that the FAQ section will be of help. Or someone can chime and and advise you. Hope to see some photos soon! __________________ http://www.srjknives.com NRA Endowment Member Knifemakers' Guild Member since 1971 "May you live all the days of your life." - Jonathan Swift
