You will use. Barrel pivot in the front but tap the back screws into the spacer you use if it is a friction folder. Erik

Usually you will use three screws on each side. Front screw will also be the pivot pin and hold the front in place. Then two more placed in the back of the scales that will hold the scales, liners, and spacer in place. The ones in the back you will eather tap a large spine spacer or buy/ make...

Wow Lee great job. I have always loved your work and it's fun to see behind the screens. It's interesting to me to see your sending your blades out for HT and not doing them in house. Erik

I guess I thought they were graphite. I just went and looked at mine and it sure look like it. Erik

Brandant, any chance you'd post a pic of your shield holder? Erik

Sodbuster is one of my favored knives. Good looking blade and I really like the caribou scales. Erik

Scott it sounds like you had a good weekend even if you didn't sell anything. sometimes knowledge is more valuable than money in the beginning. you also need to accept that it is a game of averages. some shows you will light it up and do really good and some not so much. key is to get the...

did you look for gun / sporting shows. I have done pretty good at them and usually there are not many knife makers there so you stand out. I tried the craft fairs but locally they are set up to go on the cheap side so pretty hard to sell a 125.00 blade. even harder to sell a 300.00 folder. Erik

I can't say for sure and the price will vary to where you are, but in my area it would top out at 3$ lb in good shape and go down from there depending on the shape it's in. Anvils under a 1oo# would draw less too Erik

Tim, you should be fine. Your still too hard so just re-temper for two hours at the fight temp and you should be good to go. Erik

HA! David you crap me up! What a great idea! Any desire to market the idea? Can't wait to see a knife in OKCA next show. Erik

I use t all the time. Get it slab as soon as possible and start the drying. Makes a good knife handle Erik

Calven, their is never gong to be a last one with you! Your a grinding virtuoso with the belts and wonderfull folders just seem to fall from your hands. Great looking folder, your an inspiration to all us folder makers. Erik

I clean up very seldom. I really dont care that the shop is a show case or what others think. I figure my shop is there to make money and if it's dirty that must mean something is getting done. If it starts to get to point I figure it's dangerous then I will start to clean. Erik
