Re: Sal's interview to Australian Knife Magazine
Nice read, thanks for sharing! :)
And interesting: I was aware of that Sal likes folders in the 3.5 to 4 inch range, but that the/one reason for him is that also food prep can be done well with longer bladed folders was new to me. Much like one of my own reasonings for longer blades being more versatile.

Nice interview.
Is it a bombshell that Alistair Phillips is working on a UK-legal slipjoint? A Kapara, or something new?

Re: Sal's interview to Australian Knife Magazine
I believe Sal has mentioned the possibility of a slip joint from Alistair in the past. I don't recall if it is Kapara based l based or not.
Re: Sal's interview to Australian Knife Magazine
Hi Wrdwrght,
It started ut as a slippie for BBQ. I asked Alisatair to make one a bit larger with a Compression lock. Which he did and that is the Kapara. Then I asked him to make a sample of his slippie UK legal, which he did. Then Eric decided that a locking smaller Kapara should come before the UK legal slippie, which is in-the-works. I guess the UK legal slippie will follow the smaller locker.

Thanks for this roadmap, Sal. I love my Kapara and smile at the prospect of more from Alistair.

Thanks knife grinder, great read.
Ive a lot of respect for people who come from humble beginnings to achieve so much, and still be humble afterwards.

Re: Sal's interview to Australian Knife Magazine
Not only that, you can also feel Sal transmited his value of humility to Eric. That's how you cement a nice legacy.
It also gives a very good image of the american dream.
Great read by the way, always a pleasure to read inputs of knowledgable people.

Re: Sal's interview to Australian Knife Magazine
Thanks Knifegrinders.
FYI, the original custom model which the Kapara was based on was a slipjoint.
