    What do I need for my first frame lock build?

    Everything will work just fine, don't worry about that .003 it will work fine. Where it would show up is on the tang of the blade. you want that area as flat as possible. A few thousands off at the pivot translates into an off center blade at the other end. I know you want everything perfect...

    What do I need for my first frame lock build?

    With no mill scale it should be fine. Getting it ground will mean your standoffs will need to be sized as well. I've made knives using 1095 that wasn't surface ground. They turned out just fine, it just takes a little more patience sometimes. You could go with precision ground steel and base all...

    What do I need for my first frame lock build?

    Looks like your on the right track. Just a couple observations though I would use a regular carbide bit for the detent and not a spade bit but the spade will work in a pinch. Your choice of steel is fine but you didn't mention if it was precision ground or not. You can make the knife either...

    Countersinking Ti ???

    Agree, when I first started doing folders I had the same problems. Now I do all my drilling using carbide bits. All mill work with the exception of counterboring is done with carbide tooling. I use a HSS piloted counterbore in my mill turning at 100 rpm with Tap Magic heavy oil and do not let it...
