Rough Rider Knife kit build... and long video!
Divided he ad:
Well... That was annoying! All my photo's migrated! Repaired now though. Wonder if any other posts have been zapped? :zap: :doh:
Anyway, the reason I was back here is to show you the second knife in the set I purchased. A small lockback. I'll not put too many pic's in here since I've just spent about 8 hours sorting a video out.... Issues with the video editor... Don't ask! :bang:
Well it's from this (picture on earlier post too).......
to this....
With a little extra work to make it all mine :thumbup:
And for those interested.... you'd have to be. It's 13ish minutes long :bugeye: Well it was edited down from approx 5 hours work :dremel:
I left the hammering sounds in so you might gauge the force being applied with the hammer.... Might work? :loco:
Hope some of you like it?

Blade:
Great video Ralph! I like the filework. It looks like it walks and talks well, which is the function of the knife, meaning that it snaps open and closed on its own. I like how you were careful to lap all of the inside flat, that prevents a lot of problems once the knife is assembled, it looks like your blade is centered well from what I can see.
One tip I would offer is that when you assemble the knife instead of assembling one side and the trying to slip the other scale on you can push the pins through your spring, lock and handles as a unit leaving the blade for last. Then you press down the lock and hold it, insert the blade and put in the pin. If you grind or file a point on one end of the pin it makes it easy to insert and then you just remove the point when you are ready to pein the ends.
So did you trace out the parts so that you could make one of your own?

Thanks Eddie :thumbup: Very happy you like it.
IMHO The blade seems correct and the knife feels great.... I can live with that :) So proud of my first filework :ddb: sappy I know! :lol:
The pins issue was the 2 small ones that stop the spring from spinning. The ones that pass all the way through were fine. If just a little slack in the spring end.
I'll try the blade insertion method next time.... I'm bound to try this again.... It's fun :D
Trace 'em.... Now that would have been sensible wouldn't it! :doh: Next time gadget! (obscure kids TV reference of the week? )
Going to have to have a chat about material, grades etc one day :thumbup:

I liked the lockback so went to the site and yep US$9.90. Nice now do they ship to Australia?? I sent them an email and today a reply :clap:...yes they ship to Australia........US 65.90 :jaw:...........SO I picked myself off the floor and decided as nice as the kit is it needs to stay there. The shipping ex US is so over the top
AH well I can dream :doh:
Cheers
Pete

Pete... PM me and I'll help you sort it if you like :thumbup:
Postage from the U.K. is far, far cheaper than the U.S. :)
