Whittling away at batch of straight jacks I heat treated together. This is a boys knife clip blade with bigger swedge, and small long pull. The threading cut with laser but is different than just a straight slot. It has some contour to it, a triangular shape that ramps down then ramps back up.

3.5" closed, 14C28N stainless steel, 416 bolster/shield, 410 liners, pinned shield, mill relieved bolsters. Silver twill carbon fiber that just shimmers as the knife rotates around.

Video https://youtube.com/shorts/d4Tup4qUZdc?feature=shareof walk, talk here. It might not come across on the video, but I've had 2 of 3 carbon fiber knives I've made have different sound on the walk/talk. And at the snap to halfstop and snap to open more 'buzz' seems to get transferred to the fingers. I haven't figured it out but think it might be to stiffness of carbon fiber in certain directions. It sands easy, too easy in fact.

This one is spoken for.
