I have 2-56 and 0-80 counter bores that I bought from Enco or McMaster Carr. You will have to turn the heads of button head screws down a little because the heads are not concentric with the threads.

Good job!

Brad, What a precious family heirloom to have. You are so fortunate to to inherit that knife. Knowing you, I'm sure you will pass it on to your son some day.

Hey that's pretty cool Cory. I like the way you milled the relief in the lock bar do that it can't be seen from the belly of the handle.

Yes,I mean cut whiskers off you face :biggrin: I see a lot of beautifully made straight razors and I can't help but wonder how well they work. I've never shaved myself with one but have been shaved quite a few times by a barber that knew what he was doing,way back when I was in the Army.

Ed,Frank, do y'all use grease to lube your disk while grinding? I do and it realy helps keep the blade cool. I use it for all grits above 400.

Hey Brad, That's pretty cool how well does it shave?

I'd be afraid to use that for a spring at that hardness.

I built a dedicated horizontal belt grinder,it has three different wheels and a flat platen that I can grind on without changing anything. I do the final profiling of all my parts,liners,scales blade tangs and springs. It's much easyer to grind to a scribed line when I can rest the part flat on...

What kind of folders are you going to be making? I use my milling machine a lot when I'm making lock backs, for slipjoints I only use it for grinding the nail nick,I don't use it at all for making liner locks. I would not want to make folders without my surface grinder and horizontal belt grinder.

Hey Ed, That looks like a nice setup,it will be especially handy for building lock backs.

3/32" blade and spring is typical, 3/32" pins also , if you have scale pins use 1/16". Can you close the knife to the 1/2 stop position on your computer screen? If so, do so and see if the tip of the spring spans the width of the tang and a little more. If not, it should or it will be lazy in...

.030" at least.

Yes, Lord willing!

Congratulations to John Doyle who is featured in Blade Magazine's Knifemaker Showcase section of the current,May,issue.:35:

It's been a long time since I've had a knife in Blade Magazine. Y'all just voted the sister to this one as Best Non Tacticle Folder,now Blade has included this one in a feature article about bone handled knives.

So very nice John!

I just finished this,it will be my last before the Art of Steel show this weekend. This is my BHB-S model,lockback version. This is a linerless folder with bronze washers,bronze pins and lightening strike carbon fiber. I used Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel for the blade,lock bar and...

Are you looking for knives or just photos and specifications? This is my midsize frame lock.

God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools…and He has not been disappointed. Devout Christians are destined to be regarded as fools in modern society. We are fools for Christ’s sake. We must pray for courage to endure the scorn of the sophisticated...
