I built this knife in 1985 - I started out building slipjoints - I got a little carried away with the nail pull & ended up having to open the pull all the way up - Very special knife to me - tom

I think it turned out great Tom!
Kinda blending the old with the new.

That is a very nice looking knife, Tom.
And some jimping at the top of a slipjiont blade with file work on the spring.
Very nice.

i only built old style patterns - never did try to re-invent the wheel - the blade outline was OK but the blade was very boring - but it still walks & talks

Yes it does (w/t) and the pull is kinda cool...................even if it was an error. I handled this knife some and it's sweet!

That's nice, love the blade shape and there ain't nuttin wrong with a scagel pull, it's only a mistake if you can't turn it into a design change
