Just finished this one up. It is for my partner and was supposed to be finished for our anniversary back in March :eek: She was after one of my knives for a while now. For some reason the wood doesn't come up as purple in the photo as it actually is in real life. This is a smaller version of my usual slipjoint pattern. A bit different to the last couple I have made which were the linerless ones.

Blade and Spring: 3/32 ATS-34
Liner, Bolster and pins: Stainless
Handle scales: Acacia Carnei (Needle Wattle)
Closed: 85mm
Open: 150mm
Blade edge: 60mm

Pivot bushing
Milled Liner Relief
Half stop
She wanted it really shiny so I took it all the way up to P2000 sandpaper.

I have one more knife that is already hardened to finish off and then it will see some action. I would like to flatten out the top of the nick still too. More experimentation is needed. I also picked up some shields from usaknifemaker.com to try out as well.
