440c stainless 4″ scagel style slipjoint in brown canvas micarta

here is my take on a great 4″ closed scagel style slipjoint from Jerry Van Eizenga’s book on scagel style folders. this one has brass liners and peened pins, with a shadow pivot and is about right in a loose front pocket 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.
