Thanks for the Like, I hope it helps.

Here're the other 7

Here is a quick 16 images. There are quite a few variations on the parameterized clip point, there is one near the end that looks pretty much like my opinel, definitely a cotton taster, and definitely a spey. The rest, I was just changing numbers around to see what I could get. There were...

You can cut a slot but you have to be pretty accurate. However, you can have two sides, and simply cut half a slot in each side. So if your blank is 1/8" you would cut half slot 1/16 in each side

I am currently working on a parameterized slipjoint design. I understand that there are quite a few aspects are simply "designer's preference" and there is no way to put any hard requirements on those. However, I have found that relative to tangs and blades and accompanying springs there are...

I want to do both parts.

My current concern/interest now is for shield inlay stuff. So we'll see what happens. :)

Software Engineer is my day job :) Doesn't mean I can modify all the code, some may be in a language I don't use regularly, and sometimes the code may be written so badly that it is hard to figure out how to fix it without breaking something else. But, at least, I have a fighting chance. :) I...

I don't think any of the switch blade laws affect what can be modeled in CAD :) I can possess and I think openly carry switchblades as long as I don't use them in the commission of a felony I am okay. But there is not problem with what I can possess in my home. They sell them both flipping and...

The problem with FREE (beer, not speech) vs FOSS is that it is only free until they decide it isn't. So it is kind of like free first hit of heroin. Once you are hooked, then they can charge you whatever they like. Or they can completely kill the product and leave you in a lurch. Even if a...

I feel there is enough FOSS software out there that I don't mess with the SaaS stuff even when they give out free cripple-ware versions to hook you in. I am getting much more comfortable with FreeCAD. But at the 2D level I still love Inkscape. I just did a whole bunch of die patterns from a...

well, just let me know if you need help.

Thanks, I had to export it to Blender to get it to look like that, the best I was doing in FreeCAD with POVRAY was this. Not terrible, but not what I was looking for. :)

Still not quite back in the shop. But that does't stop me from playing. Here is some FreeCAD (and one Blender assist on the rendering). The first four are Toothpick style, blade and spring. I rendered them in POVRAY from within FreeCAD, so they are kind of grey and sort of flat. Some day I will...

Though I love the lines and curves, I will probably never make a kukri. However, as a CAD challenge it seemed like the best idea to give it a shot. Let me know if you like it, or hate it. Or if you use FreeCAD and have any good pointers. If anyone actually wants this I would be happy to...

I do like the Imperial's and some of the others that have Utica, NY USA, or Rhode Island or something like that. Perhaps I will aim for "NC, USA" and come up with some aspect of my name, or make a company name or something. However, now I will need to be cognizant in my blade designs to have...

I strongly doubt that. They seem to have only 2 and they are huge like 1-1/2" I found a place. But they are $3 each with a 12 item minimum and the parsing plates are $15. I am also looking at a possibility of building a duplicator for use with my Dremel. I don't think there is a 2 leg parser...

So i have seen several different blade embellishments that allow one to open a slipjoint. It seems that one can do a long pull, or halfmoon nailnick, but many of the main blades I have seen in stockmen and a few others lately are what people call matchstrike. I really love the look of these but...

I hate to drum up a 7 year old thread, but I had a question. Where did you get the template and shield or did you make it?

Yeah, there and here, and 4 or so groups on FB. It does seem there is a company that sells a bunch of them as well as 1075 templates for them. But then they are no longer $0.20 but closer to $3 each. And it also seems there are those who don't like shields on jigged knifes, and smooth ones...
