Slipjoint by Russell White of Sheffield England.

[Essexman]

I would like to share with you all my latest knife. This is a traditional slipjoint made by Russell White of Sheffield England.











A bit of background on the maker. Russell has spent the last 21 years in the Sheffield cutlery industry making pen and pocket knives for Taylors Eyewitness in Sheffield and in that time he's assembled and finished somewhere in the region of 400,000 knives!

Away from his day job Russell enjoys making fixed blade and folding knives using modern materials but retaining traditional methods and values for his own customers as can be seen on his photobucket albums -

Nice one Mark, that's a beauty!! I knew Russell handled the Premium Line for Taylors, but didn't know he made knives under his own moniker too 

Those scales are beautiful

400 000?
He must be getting the hang of it by now 

Nice pictures,
He does do some classy work and I know hes helped people out on this forum before

that looks very 
so is that his own company, or is it just his own custom knives?

Thanks for the comments.
 
I while back I was able to have a play with another knife  Russell had made during a passaround.
 
This one is typical of his idea of making a traditional slipjoint but using modern materials.
