This is not a WIP,just some photos of my progress building this lockback knife.
I've never made a lockback folder before although I've been wanting to for years. Enrique Pena told me a few weeks ago," Just do it", so that's what I'm doing. With a lot of help from Craig Brewer I've gotten this far along.
The first photo shows my blade pattern,my handle pattern and the angle jigs I made in order to mill the proper angles on the blade lock notch and the lock bar lug. The second photo shows the parts I have made,blade,handle,washers,lock bar and spacer/spring. The third photo is the assymbled knife,I'm happy,it locks and unlocks perfectly and detents closed very well.
There is still a lot of work to be done,I'll keep yall posted.
