I question a stop pin,I would make another spring and grind the relief area further back to anable the kick to engage the spring as the correct blade stop.Just my opinion.
No problem Darren locating the bushing behind the bolsters is a new way of doing this for me and it turns out a great way of not pinching the blade when i peen the 5mm pin in place
Where do I Start, the blade is a complete knock out beautiful bar of Damascus, the precision of the build is awesome so far. I did cringe when you put your finger on the blade and pushed it back to the locking position, My knife which YOU made would cut my finger tip off if I would had try that. Who ever buys this knife will know he or she owns the best. Loz, thank you for the vid.
Hi again, I left a comment on your pattern video. Asking the same question again here, just in case. Do you do anything to reduce the thickness of the blade to offset the thickness of the washers. I assume that the spring and blade are the same thickness. Do the blade and washers and spring need to be the same thickness for the knife to operate effectively. I have seen some makers mill out the scales, in effect creating a washer. Any opinions on that? Thanks for the great videos. Absolutely the best I've seen
yes you could mill out the scales to recess the washers or ball race, I didnt have a mill at the time of making these knives so made the spring the same thickness.
@LozHarrop thank you for the response. I'm going to try to make a slip joint using your methods. You make it look easy. I've tried a few times before with no success. But I was using thicker liners and the pivot was the actual pin. I like the idea of using a pivot that you can put the pin through. Keeping everything nice and flat and square was an issue too. I like the idea of using the wood as a backer to set up all your pins. I do worry that the holes would widen if you take the pins out numerous times so I wonder if a metal jig wouldn't be better. Maybe some 1/4" mild steel. Anyhow great tutorial. Thank you for sharing it.
Exelente , se nota la experiencia, muchas gracias me ayudará mucho en mis trabajos.
Pocket knives are my favorite. Thanks 👍. Great looking!
Fantastic job Loz.

Hey Joe, Thanks dont worry the blade did not have the finished edge on it until it was assembled, learned the hard way lol
Wow no wonder custom folders cost so much
Yes Charlie also why I don't make many like this
Congratulations, Show. How thick is the brass structure mm plate. thankful
Hi it was 2mm
Do you do heat treatment only in the spring work area? thankful
yes it only needs the front section heat treating
Eiter you have ground too much off the inside of the sprinh or your kick on the blade is not sufficient.!!
