Just got this Ken Erickson custom made knife in the mail. Made a trade with a guy who had it posted here on AAPK. Has the most silky smooth action opening and closing the blades on any knife I've seen so far. Dyed sambar stag, file worked, and SV30 steel. Closed length is 3 7/8".

Very impressive, FJim! I like worked liners, and those threaded, pinched, rat-tail bolsters are something to behold!!

I've been looking at some of Ken Ericksons posts on another forum and saw some of the knives he's made and have really been impressed with his work. He also makes some of the prettiest dyed jigged bone scales there is. His prices seem pretty reasonable for now since he's relatively new at making slippies.

Very nice Jim!

Be careful.......................you start buying those custom slippies and you'll get bit by the bug, and that leads to short bank accounts!

I love Kens work Jim. I have one of his coming in Feb or March, I hope. Its a big Jack with ATS-34 in Sambar. Here's a knife pick he made when he was practicing his jigging.

Jim if you EVER wanna sell/trade that knife please contact me.
