440c stainless 3″ scagel style slipjoint in Purple G-10

here is my take on a great 3″ closed scagel style slipjoint from Jerry Van Eizenga’s book on scagel style folders. this one is linerless and has flush peened pins, and is about perfect in the front pocket of jeans or a back pocket or jacket pocket. the blade features my 440c stainless steel with single oil quench and 3 tempers and is ground nice and thin, the way a smaller every day using pocketknife should be.

this is the pattern that is in my pocket right now
