Description: Rusty Preston discovered knifemaking after retiring in 2003 and made his first knife – a fixed blade – in Nov. 2003. In early 2004, he made his first folder under the watchful eye of Bill Ruple. He’s been exhibiting at Blade Show in Atlanta since 2006. Over the years, he has become well known for his high performance, precision slipjoints.
Preston hand built this Peanut Slipjoint Folder with Stag. The blades are hand ground premium CPM-154 stainless steel. This powdered metallurgical steel has a particularly small grain structure, making it take an extremely keen edge and hold it while remaining tough and chip resistant. The blades can be easily opened using extended nail nicks. They have consistent action with a well timed half stop.
The handle is formed from premium stag. A shield inlaid ino the left handle scale features an escutcheon with Dusty's maker's mark. Front and rear bolsters are 416 stainless steel.
Exceptional work throughout!
