- The detent install is a very important part of the knife build. The action of the knife depends on it! I do my best to break down this step into easy to follow parts to ensure your knife has that great action too!

Duuuuuude. You're saving me future headache with all the detailed forewarning. (pretension, hardened detent backing ect.). Big service to the aspiring knife community.Thank you. Regards from Long Island.
Have I mentioned how excellent this series is? Thanks!
Nick Shabazz hey Nick! Love your content as well. This series is eye opening, to a guy like me who isn’t a knife maker but wants to be.
Do you have any ekim knives nick? You should get an albatross! This series is a godsend. A wealth of knowledge. Blood sweat and tears boiled down into a tutorial. Very generous, I’m thankful to have watched this series 10 times😂
P.S I work in a smoke shop and we sell a lot of z hunters. My boss thinks they’re cool. I don’t have the heart to explain knives to him.
A quote from a customer “Damascus is the hardest steel to sharpen, but holds an edge for the longest of any steel”
I said “damn really?”
Wow. I was just looking up how detent works. Watching the whole series now. 1000 Thanks
I'm pretty sure I have to watch each episode at least 10 times to retain even a fraction of the information presented. Very well done Mike! This should be a university class. Also, really digging the footage off of the 80D! Cheers!
right lol
Hi Mike, I'm following your work, although I do not speak English, I've learned from you. hugs from Brazil. Eduardo Carretero.
Man you are a perfectionist and a smart dude...you deserve all the success.
sit down, lay back and watch Ekim Knives ... great!
Thank you
You can also turn a carbide bit backwards in a mill or drill press to press in a detent ball (if you have one bigger than your feeler gage hole), if you don't want a two-step method.
Wow, that's by far the best instructional video I've seen. Thank you man
im about to start my first knife making project and your videos help a lot, thanks for doing them!
Dear Mike, thank you for this very educational episode. I've made 4 or 5 linerlock folders up to today and had a rather different approach to set the detent-ball position in the liner and in the blade. I used the flex in the lockbar of the liner to give the detent some pre-tensions. Using the flex of the whole knife in the other direction, like in your approach, seems to be a much better and less fiddly method, though. So I'll definitely try this out on the next linerlock. By the way: I'm sorry but I had to laugh very hard as you hit the plastic with the arbor press lever and dropped the detent ball. This reminded me so much to myself, dropping these darn balls all the time... Keep up the great work and thanks again, Timo
Hey I’m applying this series to a liner lock as well. I’m using 0.070” titanium, will I have any issues with this?
Are there any differences between frame/liner locks? I’m basically applying all of the techniques so I want to make sure I’m not running into any issues.
Love your videos!! Glad to find you. Now I’m gonna need a knife from you!! 🫡😉💪🏽
great videos I must say
Really good, thank's
Great tutorial series. One thing I noticed I don't like though is the hole from the detent ball exposed from the outside. Maybe transfering it to the inside would be better or drill it larger and tap it to cap it with another screw, just my 2 cents.
I dont understand why he drilled all the way through.. Why not just drill halfway? That way theres no hole showing.. What am I missing? Is there a purpose he drilled all the way through?
Great vid Mike! Going to try clamping the the blade like that when drilling for the detent, I've been spreading the lock bar which works but the clamp looks way easier! Also, a tip that works for me is using tweezers to reach in the bag and grab and place the detent ball.
Thank you! Be careful with clamping its very easy to over do it. I need to come up with a way to measure the amount of deflection like the guys do with shims in the lock bar. Maybe just count the rotations of the clamp screw to find that sweet spot. I really do need to get a set of tweezers in the shop, i'm all thumbs when it comes to tiny parts lol
Damn it's like 1:20am and i was just about to go to bed ....not anymore.. Good episode sir not sure why it took me 32 minutes to watch a 22 minute video!!
Lol thank you for staying up to watch the video! Have a great night!
it was well worth it. Cheers
detent ball. i've been looking for this info. very informative. thank U.
This is rocket science!! 😁👍🏻
Great video Mike. Great detail.
Thank you!! I really appreciate the feedback!
awesome video series. you do a great job of instructional videos.
Thank you very much!
dude love your videos. I think I am going to have to give this a go.
You Da Man !! Excellent video and information.
As always, great job 👌
So much awesome info, as always.
This is awesome . How many knives have you made now in all this time ?
My friend, you are doing a great job. Unfortunately, there are no people like you in Turkey. We do not have a chance to supply your products. As a user, would you have a chance to send me the mold and laser cutting of the pocketknife model? Thank you very much. good deeds
awesome video much needed.. you can use your drill press (off)with a old bit upside down works also I found out.
great work man
I enjoyed it brother thank you
I use my micrometer as tweezers to handle my detent ball it works very well.
Thanks bang ilmunya👍👍👍
awesomr series man...u think of everything...great that u share it all eith us...quick questions...why do u have to drill all the way through ...wouldn't it be enough to drill only to the middle ..or wouldn't the detent hold that way? or is is only to drill n mark the blade....question 2...why not install the detent before hardening the blade..or does ht shrink the steel too much n the detent would be off a few thoudand??? thx
Hey there mang awesome videos!!! im gonna give a go at my first folder. Where do you get your 1/16 balls for the detent????
I think I have watched this about three times now, and am currently rewatching the entire series. But I have a question. What would happen if you went all the way through the blade with the #54?
another good one.
Great vid. I like this vid. series, thanks for sharing... greetings, Joost
I've never seen a clamp like the one that appears at 6:15. Anybody know where I can buy one of these and the 1-2-3 block?
Recently got a sanrenmu 9104 and its hard to open one handed due to the lock bar or detent, it opens easy if I am careful not to apply any pressure on the lock bar while using the thumb stud, I will disassemble the knife but not sure how to fix it, some info would be greatly appreciated.
hi Mike, i was wondering if you had a another job other than knife making and if you could live with only it because i dont really know what job i want to have in the future so i want to know if i could be knife maker because i really like it. Thank you (sorry for the bad english if it is , is not my first language, i live in france)
Great video! But i have a bad english, and don't understend: how many mm ball diameter?
the distance between the blade and liner many mm?
hey sir idk if u have answered this already , I can't find the comment but what is the name of that small surface grinder u have on ur bench. I don't know what to type in on my search I keep getting the big ones or angle grinders. btw thanks again for the vids. I'm almost ready to buckle down and give it my best shot on a frame lock.
Hey Mike, great work, I hope one day I have your level of skill in knife making. I also wanted to ask you if you will have any of these knives for sale or are they all pre-ordered cause I'd like to buy one of your knives ?
Man it looks like it may cost some good dollars to make a knife
and love your knifes
Hey mike I got a couple of questions, Do most people use a ceramic detent ball? Are they harder then steel? Why do you use a #54 bit first when you use a #53 anyway ? Is this like drilling a pilot hole first? Is there a way to not have a hole right through the lockbar? And would it be a lot more difficult to do? Sorry if this is too many question....also whens the next Q&A hahaha Cheers
Ceramic balls are harder and offer a smoother action most of the time. The draw backs are they can be fragile and can skip when there is something in their path. (Think pebble under a skateboard wheel) The 54 is mainly for spotting but if you were to make the knife without a flipper, you would drill the blade at 54 and leave it there. this will give a weaker detent needed for thumb opening knives.
oh so the detent ball does drop in making it weaker. Thanks so much for helping us all out. Cheers
Is this handmade knife?
First 👍 next available to sold when? 😉
Thank you for Watching Andrea! There will be more albatross knives available in about 1 month. Maybe sooner for the one in this video.
Hi can i buy a drawing from you?
How much for a commission?
Hi could you send me the template so i can easily modify it for my knife
WOW...

I'm interested in how you bend the lock bar.
me too.
yeah i've been waiting for a few episodes haha
That's coming very soon but its really easy. Heat the lock bar relief with a blow torch until its cherry red and then gently push the lockbar over about 1/8' or so while its hot. It can be adjusted later without heat easily.
I thought there was going to be some crazy secret.... does it work the same for steel as titanium? look forward to the episode .Cheers
i hope that you account for titanium being a memory metal...
mike u r and will be one of great soon but even a toof wisler like me. i am reely imprest. way to get back the s is gone. u the man i got a betting and all the woork my dentis did when i was a kid. all undone. yes i akt got stabbet and it was a bit of a daounner. but noting suks like that kick i the teef
