1095 4″ scagel pattern slipjoint in black and red jigged micarta

here is my take on a great 4″ scagel pattern slipjoint from Jerry Van Eizenga’s book on scagel style folders. this one has brass liners, and is pretty large for a slipjoint, i use carry this size of knife in a jeans back pocket next to my wallet, or a coat or shorts 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.
