You can swap the bearings for phosphorus bronze washers as long as they are the same thickness. Most times they counterbore either the blade or the liners to account for the thickness (usually .0625"), so as long as the washers (or stack of washers) are that thickness, it would work.

Thank you!

This model was called the *Fighter* in the last batch. I didn't like that name, so I changed it to the *Rougarou* (Roo-ga-roo) I have 4 knives for sale out of the latest batch of MagnaCut framelocks. I made 7 of these, but 3 were already spoken for. This will be the last small batch as I...

This model was called the *Fighter* in the last batch. I didn't like that name, so I changed it to the *Rougarou* (Roo-ga-roo) They all have .140" MagnaCut blades with compound grinds. They all have .135" Titanium scales that have been contoured. Two of them are bead blasted and stonewashed...

I know this thread is old, but I am going to start using the rotary table method with a 5/16" carbide end mill. How deep of a cut to you take at a time? Say you cut .010" at a time. So you start your plunge cut in the middle of the pivot hole and go down .010". From there do you lift the end...

Listings are live on the "For Sale" page if anyone is interested. Thanks again!!

Here's the last 3 (all of these are MagnaCut)

I have finally finished up the small batch run. Overall I am happy with how these turned out. This was the first time I have made a small batch like this, can't say I'll do it again anytime soon! Also the first time working with a stainless steel, probably will do more in the future, once I have...

Thank you! That means a lot!

Next step was to sharpen up the blade. Everyone has their own methods to do this. I use my Wicked Edge so that I can get consistent angles on both sides. The four that I have been finishing up were sharpened to 18 degrees per side. Next step was to anodize the hardware. To do this, I use an...

Once the lockup was dialed in, I chamfered the sharp edge of the lockface to keep it from digging into the lockbar. Then it was time to grind the bevels. Going slow and dunking between each pass, finally got them done. I brought the bevels up to a 400 grit finish, but they were...

I inspected all the blades more carefully over the weekend and it looks like there is only 3 that are warped. So I had 4 to play around with while I waited for the carbide hammer. First order of business was the get the edges of the blade up to a 400 grit finish. This was accomplished with...

Gotcha! That makes sense.

Def will. Gonna try to do them closer to the edge so I can remove them when I grind the bevels. Thanks for the suggestion!

Just bought a carbide peening hammer from KHDaily Knives. After reading some of the forum posts (and suggestion from REK Knives) on this method and talking with Kyle, I think this is my best option right now. Gonna take a few days to get the hammer to me, but looking forward to trying it out...
