lockback tutorials

[Travis Fry]

I've got a thing for lockbacks. I've read the one tutorial i can find (the one by Neil Charity) and it's pretty good, but I was wondering if there were others. I like to get various perspectives if i can. Even book suggestions would be helpful, or any other resources for making lockbacks that anyone can suggest. I plan to make my first soon--a front lock that I drew up yesterday.

I just place an order for it. Thanks for the heads up.

Are there any other resources out there?

I apologize for resurrecting this old thread, but I was curious if anyone else had feedback on the book recommended above, "The lockback folding knife" (from Design to Completion).

Knife World Books has a good mini-review of it on their site. I'll have my copy in a few days - can let you know what I think then if you'd like.

The OP responded to a PM I sent him asking the same and it sounds like this book is well worth the money. I'd also be interested in your opinions once you read it though.
