My 1st Slip Joint
Gday folks,
This year, before heading back to Australia after the Blade show, I was fortunate to be able to spend some quality time with 2 of the ABS?s finest in Bill Burke and Bruce Bump. I spent a week with Bill forging and testing/destructing 52100 and making mosaic damascus and then took a drive up to Bruce?s place for a week to learn slip joint folder construction and how to make the feather pattern in damascus. Here is my 1st the slip joint constructed with Bruce with the blade from a loaf I did with Bill. It is also the first folder I have pinned & peined with no screws. Bolsters and liners are 416 stainless and scales are mammoth ivory. Special thanks go out to Bill and Bruce for their guidance and a fun time. 100_7377.jpg First Slip joint 001_edited-1.jpg First Slip joint 006_edited-1.jpg First Slip joint 008_edited-1.jpg Cheers Bruce __________________ Barnett Custom Knives-Australia www.barnettcustomknives.com Australian Knifemakers Guild Sec/Treas American Bladesmith Society Apprentice

Bruce, look like a beauty. I like the damascus material, and the finished knife. I am a Wharncliff blade fancier as well. I've made several simular to that one with wharncliff blades.
