This is great, Denis! I have made one liner lock like this before based on a series of videos that USA Knifemaker did, and I've been wanting to try another one. This is gonna be super helpful! I did want to make one safety comment about working with titanium though, and that's to make sure people know that the dust can easily catch fire, and it burns extremely hot and a normal ABC fire extinguisher that people uysually have around the shop won't work on it at all, nor will water. You can get specialty fire extinguishers that will work but they're very spendy. My local FD recommended that I just keep a bucket of sand handy instead, to extinguish any small fires. Cleaning up the dust is very important, and especially to keep it away from electrical outlets!
This will be an intro step-by-step series so if you’ve made folders before it might not have much new info for you. Maybe a couple tips. We’ll see! Thanks for watching.
@TyrellKnifeworks haha, no worries. I'm a full time folder maker so I've got plenty of experience. I just love seeing others branch out into the genre, to try something new!
Seems like every time I think about leaning something new about knife making, you come up with an awesome video, showing exactly how. Thank you for sharing it with us!
I'm looking forward to seeing your method. I have made half a dozen titanium framelocks, and I can say with 100% certainty that cobalt drills work great on titanium and carbide is not necessary. I only use carbide for my reamers and when drilling holes in hardened steel (detent pocket). That would cut the cost down significantly for the ones wanting to follow along that don't have $700 to spend on drill bits.
Ok, you’ll save on a few sizes that way but the cost difference isn’t that dramatic IMO. You might end up at $550 or $600. I prefer the carbide myself. Thanks for watching!
@@TyrellKnifeworks One thing to take into account on this subject too is that carbide is very chippy if there's any chatter happening, so it works really well in a mill but running it in a drill press you have to be a lot more careful about work holding, otherwise you end up blowing out your expensive carbide bit.
Man that looks way over my head but I sure would love to tackle one. I cut out the pattern you have on your patreon but haven't had a chance to try it. Thanks for the video
Great video!! Since you have the cad file in knifeprint, have you thought about sending it off the parts to me cut? I have been having my parts laser cut, undersized holes that I ream to size.
o man! I got to watch this one. A desire to make high end folders is what started my journey. I've gotten pretty far off that path but I hope to one day come full circle and get back to the root reason. This is why I've never change the company name despite that fact that I no longer make knives.
This video amply demonstrates the higher level of tooling and precision needed to make a folder as opposed to a fixed blade. The amount of tooling needed is, um, daunting if you don't already have most of it.
Folks don’t realize the amount of tooling needed to make em. Good vid Denis but you have to stop stealing my video ideas! 😂. I’m gonna do another framelock series soon so it will be a little different. 😁

Thanks for the tip. And thanks for following this series.
Great work. Such a beautiful piece of work 😍😍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thursdays are one of my favorite days of the week because of this channel!
Thanks for following along! ❤️
Looking forward to seeing you tackle a folder! They are my favorites to make!

I’m glad it’s helpful to you. The day you stop learning, you start to decay. Thanks for watching!

What a difference those new lights make! Thank you for the video.
Yeah it’s super bright in the shop! 🤩. Thanks for watching
Super excited for this series!!
Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint! 😜. Thanks for watching, Jeremy.
Me too!
Great video, like always. Thank you, Dennis!
Thanks for tuning in, Kyle!
Awesome Denis! I have been looking forward to this series a lot!
Thanks for following along, Mark!
Man that looks way over my head but I sure would love to tackle one. I cut out the pattern you have on your patreon but haven't had a chance to try it. Thanks for the video
The one on Patreon is for a slip-joint. I’ll be putting this pattern up there shortly. Thanks for watching, Richard.
Great video!! Since you have the cad file in knifeprint, have you thought about sending it off the parts to me cut? I have been having my parts laser cut, undersized holes that I ream to size.
Yeah I definitely will be doing that. I just want to make a few by hand with this design because I’m sure to make some changes. 👍. Thanks for watching

Maybe it’s time to do some side projects! Thanks for watching, Richard.
@@TyrellKnifeworks I've purchased a couple endmills to do a knife. I just have to find the time. :)
Love it! Keep up the good work and great videos!
Thanks so much! ❤️
been waiting for a video like this! thank you!
Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for tuning in.

Yeah it sure is. Costly to get into but once you have it, they are worth it. 👍
Maravilha de faca
Obrigado por dar uma olhada!

Just trying to keep a step ahead of you. 🤣. Thanks for watching, Tony!
👍
Thanks for watching!
INB4 we have the "Folder Challenge" and someone makes a folding battle axe.
Ha, that would be very interesting! 🤣. Thanks for watching, Isaac.
Hey dennis
What thickness is the titanium?
Cheers
Mine is about 0.055”, but anything from 0.050” to 0.070” works. Thinner than that gets a little dicey. Thanks for watching.
great series denis any chance you can post loinks to all the stuff needed to make the folder is it on your patreon .? thanks Mark
Yes, I’ll put up links to the items necessary in the next video. Thanks for watching.
