Here are some pics of my slim line trapper, this is the first folder I have made, other than a few folder kits. I used a kit as a pattern for the spring, liners, bolsters, and blade.
The tools used were a Bader, drill press, files and sandpaper. Bolsters are soldered to the liners. The blade and spring are 440C, with brass liners, bolsters, and pins. The screws are stainless. Jigged blue bone scales. I got the pivot pin a little to tight, she is hard to open, and in the half and open position, the spring is a few thousanths of an inch above the liners. It was a good learning experiance, and the next one, I hope will have fewer mistakes. This one will be my EDC knife.
All comments, good or bad are welcome.
