Very similar to the brown basketweave Swayback I posted here earlier.
ATS-34 blade (RC 59) and spring (RC 49) with stainless steel liners and pins. The light green (margarita) colored scales rest on white liners. I picked this green micarta up from Tracey at usaknifemaker.com. I really like it and it is great to work with.
It has a pull of about 6 out of 10 and is flush at all 3 stops.
The Wharncliffe blade has turned out to be a favorite of mine. It is different than a trapper blade but very functional. This one is 3 ½ closed and 6 1/8 open.
I included a shot of the inside of the liners prior to assembly because many times I find that people don't know what is meant by milled liners. Metal is removed (about .007") to create a spce so the blade will not be scratched when it is closed. Liner material remains around the pin in order to create an area that functions similar to a washer or spacer. It is difficult and time consuming but I think it contributes to a quality product.
More photos if you are interested at my website here.
Many thanks for looking and all the help you guys on this forum have provided me.
