Or go to a granite tile supplier. The give away small samples.

How did you do the nail nick.

So I’m only going back with one blade. I’m not brave enough to try both blades.

The main blade was broken and there was no tension since all the pins were worn out.

This knife was my wife’s great grandfather and may preceded that. It was worn slam out. I don’t know if I can bring it back but if it doesn’t work out, I didn’t ruin it.

Are you using the rear pin hole to put the tension on the spring?

Thank you!

Thanks. I’m not sure. I ordered several colors and just picked this one.

Thank you. I do not have one. The you tube videos I have seen aren’t very detailed like some other knife making videos. The work at each step - open, half, close, to align the spring with the liners is tedious for me because I don’t have a lot of patience. if I were to start again...

I can only wish. These things are addictive but I’m ready to get back to fixed blades. Although I do have a piece of small damascus. Hmmm ; > }

Learning something on every build.

Thanks, I think it flows well.

This one was challenge. I thought the builds would get easier not more difficult. It doesn’t have a firm half way stop and the full open doesn’t’click’. The close is acceptable. But I remind myself how I used to get frustrated making fixed blades so I’m sticking with it. I’m calling this one...

For me, I think it would be difficult to pull off a perfect scandi grind.

Good luck. I haven’t tried this method but I it can be hit or miss with the end result. Deer antler can be used for small slip joint.

It’s a good question and I think looking at vintage knives is an example of what you are talking about. Since I’m focusing on traditional right now that’s the way I’m building them. At some point I plan on using bushings. Chris- please I’m not way ahead of you. ;>)

Thanks, albeit an old machine.

Same here.
