Hello all.
I present my latest creation, a simple slipjoint
K720 mirror polished blade. Internal grips in brass with filework, natural Corbezzolo root grips. The final part of the spring was deliberately made thicker than the rest of the back.
Total length 9.85" (25 cm)
blade length 4.53 "(11.5 cm)
blade thickness 3 mm
I hope you like it

Sorry, I was asking how you made the slot in the blade to open it with. In America we call it a nail nick.....not sure what it is called in your country.

the "nail nick" is created with a milling.
The blade is put on a cross table tilt and is milled.
