Wow! They are beautiful. What did you use for pins on the first folder? I like the way they contrast with the bolsters.

Both the pins and bolsters were supposed to be 303 SS. I won't use that again.

Bill Wolfe did the engraving. He's a friend and former student of mine. I taught him to make my version of a button lock and he's probably made a dozen of them.

Thanks, Ben.

I really enjoy the challenges involved in making slipjoints.

Long time no see, friend. Where've you been??

I've been quiet, but I've been stopping by from time to time to check on everybody's work. I will have a couple of mine to show coming up in Nov/Dec.

Later,
Ben
