Tim Robertson is a part-time knifemaker, with a full-time job. He was born and raised in the small town of Thackerville, OK, where he still lives today. Tim started making knives about 17 years ago, when someone told him he couldn’t make a slip joint. Whether you want to call it perseverance, persistence, or just plain stubbornness, he did it. It wasn’t the prettiest thing he ever created, but it functioned, and he knew he could build it better with the next one. Tim was self-taught until about 3 years ago when he was introduced to another maker who introduced him to the knife community. Since then, he has been helped by countless knifemakers, many of whom he is proud to call close friends. Tim primarily builds traditional slip-joint knives and prefers using natural handle materials. His goal is to build the best knife that he can build, and to make the next knife better and cleaner than his last knife. Tim is an Official Member of The South Texas Slipjoint Cartel. This is Tim’s two-blade Remington 1123 Bullet Trapper, flush-joint folding knife. The blades are CPM154 stainless steel, hand ground, with a satin finish. The springs are also CPM154. The relieved liners are integral to the bolster and are 416 stainless steel, as are the pins and Remington bullet shield. The center liner is 410 stainless steel. The scales are two pieces of beautifully matched and highly figured Red Stag. These are some of the finest pieces of stag – great color, look and feel. There are ample nail nicks on both blades, each blade having a firm, smooth pull. The blades are flush in all three positions and each sit centered between their respective liners when closed. Nice walk and talk too! Comes in a Robertson Knife Works padded, zippered case.
