O1slipjoint with burgundy micarta covers.

Hello all, I finished this up this week and it found a new home right before Christmas.

Im calling it a spear point...there have been some discussion as to the actual shape so feel free to chime in and give me your thoughts. I make a couple different spear shapes and this is more in the line of the Zulu-ish type spear that I do. Some say its a sheepsfoot but I always think of a sheepsfoot as having a straight edge...no belly so what is your opinion?

Anyway...This is done in 3/32" O1 with nickel silver bolsters, pins, shield (pinned) and coin edged liners.
Closed its just shy of 3.5" and open it right at 6"
I have a vid on youtube of the action if you are interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7M3nucvCN0. Ive had a few people asked me what the action and the pull was like on knives in the past so I decided the best way to show them is a video.

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think. As always, questions, comments and critiques are welcome!
Merry Christmas,
Tim

so clean as usual.
Are you doing the coining with a jewelers saw? How do you keep from going cross eyed?

Thanks you sir!
I use a checkering file to layout where I want to cut and go just deep enough that it mess up I can sand it out (once) and just deep enough to get the jewlers saw started in the slot. I use a magnifying light to see what I'm doing. The old eyes arent like they used to be lol. Hope that helps.
