RULES FOR ENTRY IN THE RAFFLE. 1) Watch each video in the series and comment "TICKET" (one entry per person per video) 2) Share the video on FACEBOOK, tag "Survival Hardware" on Facebook and recieve another ticket for the raffle (one entry per page per video) Of course I would love it if you LIKE the videos, SUBSCRIBE to the channel and click the NOTIFIATIONS BELL, but I wont make that a rule, I would just appreciate it very much. THATS IT! I will give the knife away after the series has run its course, I will pull one ticket on the Sunday 1830 live show following the last video. Must be 18 years old to win and Identification will be required before I can ship the knife to you.
And people wonder why custom slip joints run in the hundreds of dollars. Lotta work involved. Thanks for taking the time to show how to make a pocket knife. Good stuff to glean from.
Kinda crazy how the universe works, and brought me to you. I've been watching winter camping videos and so I found your channel via the Pulk how to's. Then totally unrelated I've also been researching about making slip-joints because I'm a big knife guy and want to start building my own. You've given me a whole new level of respect for the (seamingly) simple slip-joint. Great work! Liked and Subscribed. - TICKET
Lots of hand finishing going into it. A lot of people just don’t get how cool, but tedious, that is. I don’t have much experience with G10. Any worries of wear on it, as far as being a liner less knife?
Pretty sweet Dave! Always educational. Here's a tip for you. Instead of backing your sandpaper with gorilla tape (which is a cool idea!) You could try what I use. PSA longboard paper. It's used by auto body guys. I use the duragold brand, get it from Amazon. Might save you some time. Ticket!!!!
Excellent vid series. What were you spraying on the belt during your final clean up? I've never used any water or lubricant on belts before. Does it have an advantage?
It was just water. It is a 15 micron belt and it is backed in plastic. They get really hot and I have had them pop on me. Plus it gives a smoother cleaner look.
Regarding peening the pin stock, are all the pins hardened, dead soft or somewhere between? I could see the blade pivot pin possibly being hardened for wear but peening it must be difficult.
Can drilling the pivot hole in the blade with a #41 drill bit (0.096") like Don Robinson's book suggests substitute for the 0.097" reamer to provide a little room for the pin to expand?
I'm sure that would work great and I'm also sure that he has more experience than I do in this matter. You could probably get away with not even up sizing the pivot at all but it would probably just make the break in process take longer.
I see why you milled out the blade pivot pin hole to add a reinforcing "washer" into the body of the scale, but why did you mill out the body on an earlier step? (The spot where you milled too deeply and had to replace the scale). I dont see the purpose.
So there is not a bunch of extra friction on the blade. Also the blade will show streaks after repeated opening and closing. This way the only surface to make contact is under the scales and never shows on the open blade.

Thank you so much 😀 Can't make a functional slip joint without attention to detail. It is all about the details.
Great vid editing Dave! Great lighting, transitions, high speed, and music!!
Thank you. I sure am trying to get it easy to watch. Admittedly some of my videos are painful to sit through....we live we learn.
I love how clean and organized your shop is!!!

Ticket! Thanks

I have carried my first one in my pocket for over three years with no measurable wear so far. But if it ever gets loose I can tighten it up.

What are your thoughts on using bushings like Tony Bose?
I havn't used any bushings yet but I like the idea of it.
Regarding peening the pin stock, are all the pins hardened, dead soft or somewhere between? I could see the blade pivot pin possibly being hardened for wear but peening it must be difficult.
The pins are not hardened so that they can be peened. I don't know if they are dead soft but definately not hard like drill stock.
Can drilling the pivot hole in the blade with a #41 drill bit (0.096") like Don Robinson's book suggests substitute for the 0.097" reamer to provide a little room for the pin to expand?
I'm sure that would work great and I'm also sure that he has more experience than I do in this matter. You could probably get away with not even up sizing the pivot at all but it would probably just make the break in process take longer.
so at the end you reemed the hole in the blades pivot hole. what are the hole measurements at first drilling? and what was the size of the reem bit?
Knife is looking great. Ticket please and thank you.
You got it, thank you
What is the make of that blue belt grinder?
