Re: John Lloyd slip joints
This one is one of my favorites to carry and use. John makes a great sturdy user.

Re: John Lloyd slip joints
WOW.... I like the style of the knives Lloyd makes.
Reminds me of Billy Watson's folding knives.... I never did get a Billy folder much to my dismay.
TWO thumbs up!!

Re: John Lloyd slip joints
I finally got mine today. Looks like Zach owned it before me. Great well built knife. It’s 4 3/4 closed. I placed it beside a Case Trapper for size comparison.
Re: John Lloyd slip joints
John does make a great knife, that's a beauty!

Re: John Lloyd slip joints
These are some GREAT looking knives.
I've noticed that the stag he uses always has that "fire red" color in it. His handles just seem to glow.
I'm adding J. Lloyd/stag to my "wish list".

Re: John Lloyd slip joints
Here's my Lloyd. John wasn't sure of the cover material, but thinks it is steller's sea cow bone.
Re: John Lloyd slip joints
That’s a nice looking knife as well. How do you like it?
Re: John Lloyd slip joints
I'm relatively new to the custom world. In fact, all the customs I have been able to obtain, save one, are second hand. However, I have found them all to be wonderfully crafted and rock solid performers.
Back to your question...The Lloyd is a great carry, razor sharp and rock solid as well.

Re: John Lloyd slip joints

Re: John Lloyd slip joints
That's a beauty Glennbad I've seen several online lately with the same covers.

Re: John Lloyd slip joints
That is a great looking knife, like all the rest of his.
I have to ask what this means "Vintage Cummins Micarta Handles" . Is that in reference to the color? Because that orange/yellow is a Caterpillar color, and Cummins is generally silver or red.

The handle material came out of the Cummins diesel plant.

Re: John Lloyd slip joints
Hmmmm. One more thing to pursue.
I wonder what the purpose was? Are you talking about Cummings diesel?
The only use I can think of is older control boxes to dampen vibration...

Re: John Lloyd slip joints
John LLoyd is known to have the best supply of top grade knife handle material of any USA knife maker. The workmanship on his knives has improved greatly in the last ~3 years. Now his blade grinds are thin with even taper and action is smooth. His recent work is right up there with knife makers who charge twice or more as much. And he makes a wide variety of Jack patterns, many of which other makers do not do.
