I got my gumption up to flush joint this knife which is the subject of this thread. On old knives they would sometimes make the end of the bolsters flush with the end of the tang(closed position). Additionally, a riskier move was to make the end of the spring flush as well. Take some off the end of the spring and the blade will fly up into a most unsightly position when opened....bad move. Do it just right and slip joint nirvahna is achieved.
Thought you might like to see this thing again after it's been riding in my backpocket every day since I finished it. Well, actually I guess I just finished it again.
Oh..new camera and better lighting helps.
