This knife is a UK legal slipjoint knife. I wanted to combine the traditional style of Sheffield pocketknives with some of the aspects of historical Viking folding knives.

The handle is handmade from stainless liners and stabilized ash burl bolsters with stag scales Both scales and bolsters are mechanically attached with pins. The pins are all made from stainless steel and are domed/peined by hand. The backspring is very strong and has a forced notch mechanism for extra safety - this means that there is a lot of resistance against the blade closing during use, but it is still easy to open the blade and there is no sudden spring shut when you close it. The spring is flush in both positions along the spine.

The knife is accompanied by a hand-sewn leather pocket slip that has a brass eyelet allowing you to attach the knife to a lanyard for belt or neck carry. The leather has been sealed and waterproofed with a mixture of linseed oil and beeswax from our own apiaries.
