Ben c'est prometteur en tt cas...
la forme me fait penser a un pliant français vendu ici il y a qq temps...'Tain je trouve plus le nom...

Ibiza ?

Le Doris, mais je ne sais plus qui l'avait réalisé…

Belle réalisation mais un peu chargé quand même... L'espèce de languette c'est un clip ou ça fait partie du mécanisme?

L'espèce de languette c'est un clip ou ça fait partie du mécanisme?

Partie du mechanisme. C'est une automatique.

J'ai commande un "slipjoint" chez Ondrej. Ici quelques photos "WIP" (work in progress). Lame Wootz, mitres damascus et manche ivoire mammouth.

Hey everyone,
got a big update today, i've been working almost exclusively on one knife, cause my buddy from the machine shop finally brought me the wootz steel i had him EDM cut in half (too thick to waste the half of it), and surface ground. He woke me up with it at around 6 am, and i've been at it until now, excluding the lunch break and a trip to post office. I figured it's time Jos finally got his knife, right ?:)

Now, i have cut the blade out of one of the pieces of wootz...LOVE my bandsaw - i had almost no clean up grinding after the cutting


All the parts cut out and in different stages of shaping and all


And shaped together


Milling done - it goes really fast when you're not cutting locks, milling under them...i love slippies, they are really pleasure to make


Bolsters in place and shaped


I thought i would stop at this point, cause i had done enough for the day, but frankly, i didn't have anything better to do So i cut out the scales, milled them to a correct thickness.….


...installed them on the knife.…


...and contoured the handle, finishing at 240 grit all around...



At this point, i'm beat But i will pick it up tomorrow, i want to grind and HT the blade and finish the handle... we'll see about that

Thanks for looking, Ondrej

Jos ,encore une fois tu vas nous faire baver avec un de tes couteaux.Sympa de nous faire partager le "wip"

[Blastmaster1972]

Suite. C'est presque fini!

Another update, i have been at this one all day again, and after today, all i have left to do is finish the blade, and put the whole knife back together

Here are the parts that need to be 'dealt' with


Liners fileworked, everything etched and polished...


Now just the blade and the screws


And the blade just before heat treating, the whole handle is finished now


Finished pics tomorrow
Thanks for looking, Ondrej

Maintenant le pliant est fini. Je suis tres content!

Hey everyone,
i finished this baby yesterday, it has wootz blade, twist damascus bolsters, and mammoth ivory scales. The liners are fileworked and anodized titanium, screws are heat colored gold, and the pivot screws have mammoth ivory inlays in them.







Let me know what you think, take care,
Ondrej
