Knife making - Slip joint pocket knife

This hand made pocket knife is my 25th made so far! This time I wanted to make a slightly bigger knife then the ones I have made lately. The blade length is slightly bigger then the length of a Sodbuster. I saved the pattern, if any one wants it. Send me an email and I send it to you. 1. Checkering File - 2. Files I like - and 3.
