I want to try a take down field knife(like J.Doyle does....all the time) and I believe using guide pins in the guard/spacer/handle is the way to go, but how do you layout where to drill your holes in the block and or guard for the pins? how many pins do you normally use?

Hey Guys! I'm starting some new liner lock folders and trying to decide whether to use bronze washers again or get some counterbores and use bearings. What are the benefits of using bearings for the pivot? I feel like washers are "tougher" but I may be completely wrong. Thoughts? why use one...

So I know I'm starting my first slipjoint(another thread), but I figured I might as well make a my first frame lock while I'm at it.I have been trying to start taking more pictures while I work so I might as well share them. I have several pieces of titanium that have been waiting for this and...

Hey Guys! I'm going to start a slip joint. I have been wanting to do it and it's time. I have this pocket knife that I want to use as my model(shown below). What I'm most worried about is the design I'm not sure how much things should bend and the locking size, I assume after you start making...

One I just finished up, and I thought I'd share What do you think?

I was starting work on this handle and decided I'd give some of the fancy contours a try: This is going to be a right handled favored handle: Oiling it: It's really tricky to get all the lines nice and even and crisp and yet make it comfortable at the same time, but I'm really happy...
