Like the title says it was a quest, so it will be the name of the design. I had some help in this first one, a very cool old school maker from the golden age looking over my shoulder the whole way. John Leblanc graciously had me into his home and shop this last week for 4 days, in what would become the the last time a maker would ever be welcome to learn his ways of building knives. He told me it was a good note to leave on, this knife has a rich history out the door and will be cherished by me until its passed onto my son.
This is my design and needs a few changes but overall I am very happy with the out come for a prototype. I have my own Pana-mill coming so I will be doing more of this style in the future. I really like the lock-back I think it makes a kick *** folder that is rich in nostalgia, taking me back to the days when our fathers and grandfathers carried them with pride.
Feedback is welcome please remember its the first one and I understand it is not perfect like the pin showing on the lock-bar oh well i will learn.
Anyhow onto the "Quest"
CPM 154 blade 3 1/4" a modified wharncliff I think?
8" open 4 3/4" closed
416 SS inter-frame handle with Ironwood inlays
Hand satin finished blade and mirror polished handle ( I plan to change the finish to a all over satin unless engraving is going to happen, also a lanyard hole will be added.)
Thank
Spencer
