Wow! Very informative and I like the pics detailing each step. Can't wait to see the rest.

Nice one Blade :thumbup:

Looking forward to seeing some more ,,,,,,,,,, very interesting :dremel:

Do you sell the knifes you make ?

Blade,

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued.... I'm waiting to see about the spring. Always wondered how, what material and how to get it working properly?

Just one of those things, I've had a penknives since I was a kid. Always useful. Just current muppets over here are making it difficult to own a penknife without getting looked down upon for doing so? (different topic all together! :offtopic: )

Still, looking forward to a good description of that bit :thumbup:

Ralph.

Blade:
Hi Rob,
Yes I make the knives to sell. It started as a hobby and turned into a business. A big plus is it allows me to get all the tools :dremel:

Hi Ralph,
If the pic or link works here is how the lock will work, this knife doesn't use a spring on the tang of the blade it uses a lock cut out of the liner or scale.

Blade:
I will show how to set up the lock and cut it and how to make the lock face, which is where the lock contacts the blade when I get to that step. The fit is very important to the function of the lock, if the two parts are out of alignment you will either have a lock that slips or a lock that sticks so bad you can't unlock it.
