Very nice horn on the button side!
Re: 9" JTK bolsterless
Nice. Is the lock tab back spring made completely from scratch?

Re: 9" JTK bolsterless
Yes, I make the backsprings from the same steel that the blades are made from (almost always 1095). I do the traditional locktab twist. For a while when I started making knives I was intimidated by trying it (I was worried it would break) so I made lockbacks. But then I finally tried it and it isn't too difficult. Just make sure you have the neck area red hot when you do the twisting.
Re: 9" JTK bolsterless
Thanks Jim. You make a very nice knife.
