Luke Swenson has been making knives for over 10 years. He has truly taken his knifemaking skills to the next level. He has become a master in his own right at making both slip-joint and lock-back folders. This knife is new from Luke.
This is one of Luke's 2-blade “Slip-Lock” Trappers. It features a clip point lock-back blade and a slip-joint Wharncliffe blade, both made from CPM 154, hand-rubbed to a 600 grit finish. The scales are Luke's own honey jigged bone, with an arrowhead shield on the presentation side. The springs are also CPM 154, hand-rubbed to the same 600 grit. The front and rear bolsters are 416 stainless steel and are integral to the liners. The pins and shield are also 416 stainless. The outer liners have been milled relieved and jeweled. The center liner is 410 stainless steel. Luke has done some clean file-work on the spines of the liners. Both blades have deep, well defined nail nicks, with smooth pulls. The blades lock up tight with no play, and the blade seating is perfectly centered between their respective liners. The slip-joint Wharncliffe blade has a half stop. Nice walk and talk. One of the coolest knives Luke builds. Comes in a padded zippered "Swenson Knives" case.
