Ok, so Ive finally got some time to work on knives and I thought I would make the switch from slipjoints to liner/frame locks. Well....maybe not switch but at least give it a try.:biggrin: but I need some help (Frank, Les, Les, Ed....somebody????:31::3
Ive looked at several tutorials and the question I have deals with the detent. I know some makers drill from the backside of the lock so the detent hole is all the way through. Ive seen some who drill from the front and use the scribe method for the hole in the blade. If the hole is all the way through how do you keep from setting the ball too far in the lock?
What are some of your secrets guys? Ill trade some slipjoint mojo if anyone is interested.:biggrin:
