The two guys who have had the slip joints I put the bushings in have had them for 6 months. Neither of them has complained and still love the knives. It's easy to say top makers use them so there should be no problems, but I still want to judge for myself. After this WIP I'm making one for...

Glad ya'll are enjoying this. Don't quiet have the other 2 caught up, but wanted to show a problem I ran into. I ordered the phosphorus bronze bushings a while back and I had used 3 of them no problems until now. The hole that was supposed to be 3/32" is not even close. That was the first...

Got a few minutes before guest arrive so I'm posting this up. This is a tutorial I did on texasbowhunter.com, I checked before cross linking. It's a clean site. This build along/tutorial was done in mind with someone only having a drill press, sandpaper, files, and a flat surface. I showed a...

Thanks for the informative post. You answered one of my main questions, the ability to supply a steady knife or several. My real job prevents me from turning out a steady supply or steady one or two knives. Out of curiosity are there any makers that deal strictly with dealers? No customer...

Saw a spam post went to report it and it was already handled. Two minutes tops, you guys are good 2thumbs

I agree with Rusty.

Have an tips that might help Mr. Robertson? Thanks Ryan

I'm in. Thanks for the chance

Too cool. Been emailing knife buddies about the website. Thanks for the offer and I'm going with 307

Thanks for the thoughts on the spring guys, beats tapping it in with hammer. Wanted to post a few more pictures mainly shaping. I screwed up the first set during shaping. I took too much off the front to where the lock showed in the half stop position. Here's some with the new liners...

Here's a few more for the night. Once I had the holes drilled I seperated the two liners using a razor blade and cleaned up the super glue with acetone. I also ran them accross some 320 grit sandpaper on the granite plate to remove any burrs. Next I put a pin in the pivot hole and the end...

Very nice. Your description sounds spot on for my shop working on slip joints lol.

I do use 3/32" pins for the middle pin and end pin also. I used a metal ruler to measure the 1.5mm. It's probably not dead on accurate, and it actually loads the spring a little hard, but I'll show later a way I combated that problem on a previous knife. I'm not sure if ram is the correct...

The first set of liners that I super glued went great. That is until I rough ground them to shape and removed too much material, then noticed I had a hole that was not at tight as it should be. The next couple three sets of liners I used super glue to hold the spring in place and had problems...

Once I got the spring where I wanted it in relation to the blade. I made sure I was pressing up snug and applied the super thin super glue to hold the spring in place for drilling. After screwing up two sets of liners doing these knives I changed my method. Old method 1 fit spring and super...

I think I just don't have enough sense lol. I work 7 days a week during hunting season which is right now through April in Texas. Many days are 14-18 hour days, it's not fun. Most nights I work 14-18 hour days I usually go in the knife shop for at least an hour then grab a couple hours of sleep...

Thanks guys. Been getting off late and not getting pics posted after working on the knife. Dave tomorrow ill post pictures of the fixture, should be able to make one.
