Thanks. I made a short video of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wII141Nn1VM

Thanks guys. I should have added that I owe a big thanks to Andrew Riley for the pattern and for the videos and help he provided. I also received a lot of help from some other knife makers who were patient enough to put up with all my questions.

Thanks. I'll definitely be making more. I've never peened pins before so I figured I would use screws. I think I will continue to do so on the next ones also.

I finally finished it tonight. The walk and talk is off a little bit but I'm still happy with it. CPM 154 and Warwood scales. I used 0.005" phosphor bronze washers I bought at USA Knifemaker instead of milling the liners.

Nice looking knife. I want to make one of those some day.

Working on my first slip joint. First time using CPM 154.

I did a search and couldn't find any info in regards to heat treating S35VN for a back spring (making a slip joint). Does anyone have a recipe, or should I just use CPM 154 for the back spring? If so, what recipe for the CPM 154 without using cryo or LN. Thanks in advance.

Very nice knife. I messed up another back spring tonight. Making these is definitely not as easy as a fixed blade.

That is a cool knife. Please post some pics when it's completed.

Ground a Murray Carter design White Crane Jr. Knife is AEB-L @ 62Rc with a 750 grit belt finish. Waiting for a shipment from USA Knife Maker so I can get to the next stage with my first slip joints.

This is for 154 CM but I assume it would be the same for CPM 154?

I started on your pattern. It seemed like a waste to heat treat one knife so I'm doing two. CPM154 for the blade and spring.

Thanks Ed. It's a Craftex CX600. There would be a similar Grizzly model as I think they are all made in the same place. I have some milling books on the way and have been watching some videos. My first project is going to be a Lanny's Clip. I saw some pics and watched some videos on this knife...

I want to get into folders so I ordered some equipment. Now I need to figure out what to do with it.

A very nice knife made with very good steel.

You're welcome. Thanks for the email. I appreciate it.

Nope. Al.

Thanks for the info. I will be looking at doing the spring at 48-50Rc and the blade at 61-62Rc.

I was looking at Crucible's heat treat data for CPM 154 (link) and could not figure out the recipe I needed for a slip joint that I'm going to make. If I want to keep 5 points of hardness difference between the blade and the back spring (to prevent galling) I can easily do it with 1900F and no...
