Title: Knife class
Post by: B.Barker on February 02, 2018, 02:07:01 AM

For anyone interested I'm scheduled to teach a class at Conner Prairie next fall. Six student limit since this is my first. We will be making a folder like this. Its going to be a two day class this year.

Do I see a backspring making it a slipjoint?  OR - is it a friction type folder?  I do like the looks of it - and it looks like I can see a backspring with the center pin to give "spring" to the backspring.  Good job.

Can an antler be substituted for the body?

Sorry I didn't notice this post before. If you are talking about antler for the panels then yes. If you are talking about using antler for the liner and grip then no not for the class. I need to keep everyone working on the same knife to get one finished in two days.
