1095 3″ scagel pattern slipjoint in black linen micarta

here is my take on a great 3″ scagel pattern slipjoint from Jerry Van Eizenga’s book on scagel style folders. this one is linerless, so it is very thin and light, and just about disapears in a front pocket. the blade features my 1095 high carbon steel with multiple quench and 3 tempers and is ground nice and thin, the way a small every day using pocketknife should be.
