It's a slip joint on ball bearing. The blade is not perfectly centered closed because i'm a dumb and used a used counterbore mill....The bearing race track is not perfectly square to the flat part of the liner.
That spring is a bit too soft, but that is perfectly functional, i have only to keep a bit more steel at the flex point and i will have the spring strength i want :D. I flattened a bit too much too the spring, i have a bit of light between ti and spring (before to have flattened there was a bit of friction of the spring on ti....)

The filework is awfull, i reworked a lot the spring and the top of the blade during the various stage and have eaten the filework. I re fileworked after the Heat Treatment, but that is a bit less easy :D

Sinon le guillochage est affreux, mais j'ai tellement retouché le ressort aprés TT que j'ai fini par le bouffer et j'ai du le "refaire" sauvagement :D"
