I just finished this one up. G10 scales with stainless liners and bolsters. ATS 34 blade (59RC) and spring (48RC). Milled liners and flush at all three stops. Thanks for looking. It has got a great walk and talk and nice smooth edges to keep it comfortable in the...

WooHoo! Congrats! IN, please! Johnny

I have used the heat treating excuse to order pizza... Mmmm Rusty do you put multiple small blades per pouch or do them all individually wrapped? Your knives look outstanding. Johnny Roberts

Brilliant! I will be doing this to my MAP Arm today! Johnny Roberts

I use to load my pin material in an old drill press and hold a file at an angle as the material was spinning. It gave a nice medium length taper. The you can clean it up with a bit of 220 grit. Johnny Roberts

For me, setting the proper amount of tension depends on the size of the knife, blade and the thickness and shape of the spring. I have a piece of precision ground steel that I put holes in at the proper spacing to allow me to get a feel for how much resistance the spring is going to have. When I...

I only have two pins on my RFI. One for the pivot and one for the center of the spring. I push up on the back of the spring to apply pressure at the tang. As Bruce mentioned above, I use a drill bit shank as my pivots. Don Robinson makes a really nice RFI and the one I built is ver...

Yep. I would be proud to carry that. Johnny

I have a folder project that will look great in .125 CF. I'll try #13 Thank you, Bruce. Johnny Roberts

Looks good, Rodney. Is that a convex grind? Johnny

JC, 40 is probably a bit low. It is important for the spring to be hard enough to withstand the wear that will come from the much harder blade tang. I used to shoot for around 45 Rc but after speaking with some slipjoint guys that know a helluva lot more than I do, I am now making mine a...

The book is full of great information that is laid out in a clear linear path. There are lots of different ways to make knives but it is fantastic to see how someone else does it. Setting spring tension can be tricky. I look forward to trying your technique. Also, many thanks for your mill...

I got a case of the "Mondays".... IN! Johnny Roberts

Got mine as well and it is excellent. Many thanks, Don.

In on the 22nd. Thank you!

Awesome win, Fletch! Congrats!

Nice piece of equipment. IN please.

In and thanks!

Awesome! I am IN! Many thanks for doing a give-a-way. Johnny Roberts

I like it a lot. I doubt you are going to have that in your pocket for very long. The slight contrast between the liner steel and the back spacer is nice and the slim profile makes it look like it will ride comfortably. Nice Job. Very impressive.
