Now that is a slip joint!
At 3 5/16" closed, it pocket carries so well and when in use, it fits hands and tasks.
Mr. Davison,
Too many years ago I had made for me a knife very similar, actually two.
I like the Barehead Slimline Trapper, and had commented to my buddy how a Slimline Trapper, just shorter than the standard 4 1/8" closed length would be a nice size and handy.
Ivory handles, pinched bolsters, with an 18k yellow gold shield. The blades were 01 and had a clip blade akin to the Slimline Trapper.
One was 3 1/8" closed and the other, 3 5/16".
I miss the person more than I miss those knives.
This one of yours sure stirs some sentimental memories.
